Is your feature request related to a problem?

Hi!

I would like to see zigbee light sleep feature in the arduino framework. Me like many of other tinkers would like to use low-powered connectivity, which zigbee should be. Right now, zigbee is not what we wanted to see. It is extremaly power consuming (like 30-80mA) and it is preferibly suitable for passive devices which pings data in defined intervals between deep sleep. Right now, it is for sure not suitable for battery powered devices, nor remotes, nor controllable device.

I saw light sleep example in esp-zigbee-sdk, which I tried to flash, but I found out, that my device is still consuming in range of 20mA instead of declared 0.125mA in Readme, I would not be disappointed if we could talk about consumption in the same order of magnitude, but not 150x more power consuming. Something is broken here, a manual or a code. I would like to see a light sleep functionality in arduino framework, which would be also so much easier to handle than working with esp-idf framework.

Describe the solution you'd like

Light sleep, make boards battery friendly.
