reduce power consumption of ESP32 #17

Hi, first of all: thank you very much for this library, it's great! I use the library to control a very small RC car. The battery is small, so the power consumption of the ESP32 is critical for me. I measured that the ESP32 needs 160mA constantly when connected to the PS5 controller. That's a lot for BLE, isn't it? My question: is there a way to reduce the power consumption by reducing the number of BLE packets per second? (In my case I only need a new packet every 100ms or so). Or is there another way to reduce the power consumption of the ESP32.

I would be very happy if someone can help me further.
