Sending sensor series in bluetooth mesh

[toni95]

Hi all,

currently I am trying to send sensor series in bluetooth mesh. I set up the sensor observer (client) example and the sensor server example. I can get the sensor series values from the sensor server via the button on the sensor client. Now I would like to send unprompted sensor series values, but I don't know how. I could not find any example for that. I assume I have to use the bt_mesh_sensor_srv_pub as bt_mesh_sensor_srv_sample i only for single channel sensor values.

I am struggling on how to fill the value array  in bt_mesh_sensor_srv_pub. At the moment I don't care about the values in this field. So it could be an array of floats. 

Can anyone help?

Best,

Toni

Hi,

The sensor values are of type struct sensor_value. It is not a float, but rather two int32_t containing the integer and fractional part of the value (in one-millionth parts) respectively.

For single channel sensor values you can also consider use of bt_mesh_sensor_srv_sample(). It will then use the callback function actually used by the bt_mesh_sensor for getting a value, which is typically what you want anyway.

Hi Terje

thank you for quick reply!

I know that I can use bt_mesh_sensor_srv_sample() to send single channel sensor values. But I am struggling with sending sensor series. 

Could you please give me some basic example code on how to fill the sensor_value and how to send it? 
Thanks in advance! 

Best, 

Toni
