Introduction
Grove - UART WiFi is a serial transceiver module featuring the ubiquitous ESP8266 IoT SoC. With integrated TCP/IP protocol stack, this module lets your microcontroller interact with WiFi networks with only a few lines of code. Each ESP8266 module comes pre-programmed with an AT command set firmware, meaning you can send simple text commands to control the device. The SoC features integrated WEP, WPA/WPA2, TKIP, AES, and WAPI engines, can act as an access point with DHCP, can join existing WiFi networks and has configurable MAC and IP addresses.

Ultra-low power technology
The ESP8266 was designed to achieve very low energy consumption with patented power management technology that reduces non-essential functions and regulates sleep patterns. There are five power states:
- OFF
- DEEP_SLEEP - the real-time clock runs but all other parts of the chip are closed
- SLEEP - consumes less than 12uA with only real-time clock and watchdog running. The chip will wake on MAC, host, RTC or external interrupt.
- WAKEUP - the system is changing from a sleep to on state. Crystal oscillator and PLL are enabled.
- ON - consumes less than 1.0mW (DTIM = 3) or 0.5mW (DTIM = 10).
The Real-time clock can be programmed to wake the ESP8266 within a specified period of time.
The higher the DTIM period, the longer the device may sleep and therefore the more power the devic
