Seeeduino XIAO Low Power Operation Using External Event

Dear Citric,
I am afraid I have to agree completely with MAX1’s last comment. the reply you have mentioned

Blockquote
the XIAO series themselves are devices that operate with very low power consumption, so it seems that it is not necessary.

It is not true at all, The XIAO BLE sense that I got, consumes several mA without BLE TX\RX which is huge in the Idle case for the NRF5X chip.
The whole point of using NRFX chips is to use sleep mode and go to uA level otherwise other chips e.g. ESP32 are a much more interesting chip to use for either hobbyists or developers.
I really hope XIAO developers fix this issue since this is a pretty nice little board with huge potential.
Cheers,
