It is required in a home automation project to restore the settings of all gadgets / devices to the same level as they were before power failure. How do I keep the program running in NodeMCU during 5 volt supply failure with a Lithium button cell of 3 volt? There are some commercial sets available with this feature.

Hi.
I don’t think it is possible to power the ESP8266 properly using a button cell of 3V.
You need at least 3.3V for the ESP8266 to operate properly.

I’m guessing here but you could probably use an external RTC to save settings and power that RTC with a 3V button cell.
