Bluetooth mesh advertising

[MeliodasD]

Hello Developers,

I have configured a mesh network where I have a gateway node and multiple relays to relay messages from End nodes (sensors)

My question is the following after an End node and any node are within mesh network from my understanding they use only two roles adverser and scanner constantly to say to the near nodes "I am here" and relay messages, but for example if my End node is sleepy most the time, I would like use it in the most passive way possible, so after wake up start scanning, no advertise "I am here" only after scanned an advertising packet from a different node then start to adverting "I am here".  my idea is similar to the client role in BLE when it scans for advertising packets before request a connection and emit any RF signal

Is it possible respond to the rest of nodes in the network only after an advertising packet is received, not before? and use end nodes in the most passive way

Hi,

Bluetooth mesh has a feature called "friendship" for optimizing the power consumption of low power nodes. You can read more about friendship and low-power nodes in this blog post.

For now, this Friendship feature is still not implemented in our Mesh SDK, but it is part of our release roadmap, so you can expect it to come out very soon.

Best Regards,

Marjeris

Hello 

Can I get data how you made mesh network for sensor as end node.
