Relay nodes on Mesh SDK

Hi!

I searched the devzone and there is quite few topics about how the relay is enabled / disabled in the FW... according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9CvtbCmYQY for large networks about 5% of the nodes should be relays? the idea behind such a small number is that we don't want to overflow the network just relaying the same messages if all the nodes are relays, which I think it's the case on the current SDK 310?

If I am not mistaken, by default the relay functionality is enabled? Is there any plans or ideas on how to automatize this? or the current idea is to leave this totally up to the final user? and have a toggle on the provisioner to enable / disable the relay function?

  • Hi! closed the question on Github because on his opinion these are duplicated questions... and this one has a "Verified Answer" we set couple weeks ago because we didn't knew about the toggle on the Android Library that seems intended for this functionality... 

    So now we are in between a grey area... if the SDK has already the capability to enable / disable the relay functionality and the Android Library has a toggle that seems intended for this purpose... do we know what's going on...?

    We tried to use that toggle on the Android app but it doesn't seems to have any effect on the nodes...

    Thanks!
