You need to establish a friendship before you can enter low power mode. What's the point of having a LPN without friend node ?

Hi Hongjun,

Please let me know the power consumption measurement you have, what was normal and what was very high?

Note that as stated here, after provisioning the LPN needs to have a friend node before it can enter low power mode:

The LPN device is now part of the mesh network and can control the LEDs of the light switch server device. It has not entered the low power mode yet, as it needs a Friend device to accept its Friend requests.
