Hi,

bt_mesh_lpn_set() and bt_mesh_friend_set() are the correct ways to change the LPN and Friend features at runtime. When the LPN state is enabled, the node will send a friend request (granted it is provisioned) with possible criterias for determining which friend node it may choose. Capable friend nodes in range will respond with a friend offer, and the LPN will attempt to poll the friend once friendship is established. If no friendships were established, the LPN node will retry sending a friend request after a specified time.

When the LPN feature is disabled, all friendships will be cleared. Similarly, disabling the friend feature terminates any active friendships.

For relays, enabling CONFIG_BT_MESH_RELAY_ENABLED causes the relay feature to be enabled on (re)boot. You can freely change the state of the relay feature and retransmit parameters during runtime using bt_mesh_relay_set(). (You can do this independent of whether it is enabled by default)

Regards,
