power_off and shut down the camera #130

Thank you for developing this python api, it helps me a lot. I'm new to GoPro, and my camera is Hero7 Black. I can power on and off the camera with the api, but there's a question confusing me. When I power off the camera (goproCamera.power_off()), my laptop is still connecting GoPro's WiFi, and I can power on the camera with goproCamera.power_on(MAC_addr). My question is that after I power off the camera, the camera's WiFi is still alive. Does it mean the camera is not actually shut off and keeps consuming the power?

When the camera is off, it's not completely off unless you manually turn the WiFi off beforehand yes.
