Provisioner node : Unhandled mesh event

[Arij]

Hi,

I'm working on sending string data over mesh by following this case, my message is printed on server side in mesh_msg_handle() function (access.c file), but I want to print it in server main.c file, from what i see in the provisioner log : Unhandled mesh event: 4, my message is not handled after handle_incoming() function. i don't understand how it works after debugging this function I'm using mesh SDK v2.0.1.

Also from what i learn in that case is that i have to do the initialization of the simple message model on both client and server side, i added that with the initialization of the on_off model but it shows error like NRF_NO_MEM on client side (No more memory available to allocate model) and NRF_FORBIDDEN on server side (multiple instances per element is not allowed), after that i tried  to replace the simple_on_off model configuration by simple_message model configuration in node_setup.c file,  but it fails and configuration of nodes won't happen.

Am I allowed to add simple message model configuration in node_setup.c file like the simple on_off model so the message can be handled?

Thank you,

Best regards

This link might be useful for creating new models. I would definitely try to add the simple message model like it has been done in the simple on_off model to handle the messages. In general, just try to see how the light switch example has initialized the simple on off model & do something similar for your own model.

Thank you for your reply, i don't understand why errors occur when i do the initialization of simple_message model with simple_on_off initialization, and this new model considered as on_off model intance that cannot be in the same element

What errors are you receiving? Do you have a log that you can upload to this case?

I fixed the errors by increasing ACCESS_MODEL_COUNT to consider the new simple message model with the other models, the initialization of both models works (on_off and message), after that Unhandled mesh event doesn't occur, now still not able to print my message on server main.c, any idea please?

Does this mean that you are using the simple_on_off model in addition to the simple_message model? If so, it makes sense to increase the ACCESS_MODEL_COUNT. If you are switching out the simple_on_off model with the simple_message model, I would not increase ACCESS_MODEL_COUNT.

You could have a callback function in main that gets called whenever a message gets sent to the server. For an example of how this is initialized & done in practice, have a look at the app_health_event_cb() in the provisioner of the light switch example in Mesh SDK v2.0.1. The app_health_event_cb function gets called in models_init_cb() inside the health_client_init() function. The handle_fault_status() function inside health_client.c handles the incoming health message, sets the event type to HEALTH_CLIENT_EVT_TYPE_FAULT_STATUS_RECEIVED & calls the event_handler() at the bottom, which happens to be the app_health_event_cb() function.
