Persistent Address Conflict Issues

[jemalkorra]

Hello,

I'm encountering persistent address conflict issues within my Nordic project. 

Occasionally, when a device joins the network, I observe address conflict errors. Despite attempts to rectify the issue by modifying the short address at the coordinator level, the problem persists.

According to the documentation, the network should autonomously resolve these conflicts. However, this does not seem to be the case. The conflict persists indefinitely, causing disruptions and instability within the network.

Any insights or suggestions on troubleshooting this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Hello,

I've conducted some tests at home, where the environment is less noisy compared to the lab. In this setup, the coordinator is from Digi, and the network is unencrypted. We've decided to maintain this configuration for legacy reasons.

Next week, I plan to run the same tests but with an encrypted network, so we can see difference.

Thank you,

Julen

Hello,

I have done a first try with encryption enabled. See the attached log. I will try to do more tests adding, removing, turnning on and off the devices. To see if I can replicate the addr conflict problem. 

Thank you for your support,

Hi Julen,

Based on this, it seems like the noise is not a factor. Please let me know if you find anything with your tests with security.
I will keep looking through your logs to see if I can find anything more.

Best regards,
Marte
