Hi Tom,
For new product we suggest to move to use nRF Connect SDK instead of using nRF5 SDK for Mesh. nRF5 SDK for Mesh is in maintenance mode and no longer get new features/development.

[quote userid="2121" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/102729/how-to-add-pb-adv-into-your-lpn/440695"]Are you planning to have a normal mesh node that can switch to LPN when needed ? [/quote]

Hi Tom,

Could you please clarify, only after you provision the LPN and then you restart it you don't see the unprovisioned beacon on PB-ADV ?
I think it's as expected as after the device is provisioned it should not advertise as unprovisioned beacon and shouldn't use PB-ADV anymore.
And the default behavior of LPN is to find a friend node and stay in low power mode.

Are you planning to have a normal mesh node that can switch to LPN when needed ?

By the way, when I set MESH_FEATURE_PB_ADV_ENABLED to 1 and compile, then flash to Ev board, I use Dongle which support PB-ADV to check the LPN node message, dongle can scan the pb-adv message before provision.

After lpn node is provisioned, dongel can still scan lpn message, but if lpn node device power off then power on again, dongel can not found the lpn message, I don't know why, could you help me , please?
