Thank you so much. It's worked

Hi Hust,

I removed the length filter for both examples, look for the conditionals using GENERIC_ONOFF_SET_MINLEN and GENERIC_ONOFF_SET_MAXLEN inside generic_onoff_client.c and generic_onoff_server.c also you have to look at message_set_packet_create() for the client and get_params_validate() for the server, don't forget to change your data type if you are planning transmit some different than bool type

Do you really mean 8-byte values - or 8-bit values?

Hi, I tried the same thing you tried. Could you please tell me where to remove this condition?

When I tried to send value 0 or 1, it's worked but when I tried other 8 byte value, it's not worked anymore.

Sorry for my bad English.

Solution:

After added my new fields/variables to the generic_onoff_set_msg_pkt_t and generic_onoff_status_params_t and I removed the length "filters" for the client and server code examples, now I am able to transmit larger payloads and different data formats

So take a look at the Dimmer example next; to see how a wider-ranging value is handled - using the Generic Level monitor ...

it is clear for me the Generic On/Off model is just for transmitting on/off, but I am using this example for a better understanding, and using it as a starting point from the Light On/Off model to a custom model

Surely the whole point of the Generic On/Off model is that it models a strictly binary, on/off state? The clue is in the name!

If you want something more than just on/off, wouldn't it be better to look to a different model which supports that?

How about the Generic Level model?

as far as I know the provisioner is used only to join nodes in the network and authentication.

That's the way I see it: once the other nodes have been provisioned, I can turn off the Provisioner node - and the others will just keep on working, and communicating with each other.
