out of curiosity, which wifi microcontrollers are better for battery life?

ESP8266 as a daughterboard on a real microcontroller like an STM32. Or a Nordic device like the nrf7002, but I haven’t used that personally.

Nordic Semiconductor nRF devices barely sip power. We did lots of wearable devices with BLE interface at my last job and Nordic was our go-to.

Sorry, I just realized you said wi-fi, not BLE.
