Using esp_light_sleep_start() can break WiFi, should be configurable to use delay()/xTaskNotifyWait() instead.

With the default of esp_light_sleep_start() I see WiFi connection problems.

Using delay() can still noticeably reduce the SoC temperature. In my limited testing, the temperature reported by CpuTemperature.read() reduced from ~58 °C to ~52 °C after enabling -D_TASK_SLEEP_ON_IDLE_RUN=1 and hacking it to use delay() instead of esp_light_sleep_start().

Hi,
Which version of TaskSxheduler are you running.
I believe I disabled light sleep in the latest version since yes, it causes WiFi issues.
Simple delay(1) (or vTaskDelay(1) ) works better.

One problem with a simple delay is that when using StatusRequest to wake from an interrupt, the delay is not interrupted.

So for ESP32 even better is to use xTaskNotifyWait() to sleep and xTaskNotify()/xTaskNotifyFromISR() to interrupt the sleep.
