BLE_MESH: dynamically change between node and relay mode

[atlesilgjerd]

Hi,

We are planning a new project that needs to use very low power. Since relay mode uses more power than simple node, can we turn off relay mode on all nodes until an event happens and we need to propagate to the entire mesh network ?

The reason for this is to save power. We are also interested in a good estimate for power consumption for a node and for a relay node.

We are using a nRF52840 with low frequency crystal to get lowest possible power for slot syncing.

best regards,

Atle

Hello,

I am very interested in your project because I am working on a similar issue where I would like to dynamically switch between node and relay mode in a BLE Mesh network. I would be happy to collaborate with you, share our respective progress, and possibly our code. Feel free to reach out if you are also interested.

Best regards,
