You could take a look at the multilink example that we have, where you can have one central device connected to up to 20 peripheral devices. This uses regular Bluetooth Low Energy, not Bluetooth Mesh.

Yes, i've been reading about it, but this solution implies the definition of a network topology and that is something I don't want for my application.

In my application, all of the nodes will be battery-powered and all of them will be doing the same operations. So I want to find a way to keep all of them powered off or sleeping, and reset them, in order to read and send a simple data and finally turn again to sleep.

Is there any alternative way to do this?

Thanks,

Alex

This sounds like the perfect use case for the low power node example I mentioned in my last case! Have you taken a look at that example?

For now, I just want that the node keeps sleeping for a large period, wake it up for sending a simple temperature data and then, just turn sleeping again. But I don't know well how to do it. I`ve tried to apply what it says in this thread, but I'm getting assert errors.

Now i'm getting high current consumption (around 13 mA) even when the node isn´t provisioned, so I need to optimize somehow that consumption.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Bluetooth Mesh is not a low power solution. The relay nodes need to be mains powered, as their radio needs to be on to listen for incoming messages. If you want to have a low power node, I would consider looking at our Low Power Node example here.

Kind Regards,

Bjørn
