RSSI is not updating on nrfcloud for my nRF52840 DK. It is just showing connected, paired and fetched services. What is the solution for this?

Hi,

I am using nRF52840 DK which runs blood pressure example. With nRFcloud gateway and nrfcloud.com, I have connected successfully the development kit. Observed that RSSI value is always showing -72 dBm. What is the cause and solution for this?

Thanks,

Sridhar

Hi!

I've tested this and I can confirm that I am getting the same result as you. The RSSI is not changing.

I'm not sure if it is meant to change, but I'll look into it and get back to you.

I can see that you are testing this using the Blood pressure example. Could you also tell me which SDK you are using?

Best regards,
Joakim.

I tested with SDK V15.0.0.

Hi!

It seems that the RSSI you are seeing is the RSSI from when the device was originally connected.

I'm not sure why it isn't updating, or if it is supposed to, but I'll see what I can find out.

I'd like to note that the nRF Cloud Gateway is still experimental and this might be a feature that will be implemented at a later stage.

Best regards,
Joakim.

Currently we are only showing the RSSI a peripheral that was recently scanned for. Once the peripheral is paired, the RSSI is no longer transmitted. We are aware that this behavior should be improved so that you see up-to-date RSSI information when viewing a connected peripheral. Right now there is no estimate, when this feature will be implemented.
