Thanks for the information, good to know.

In the list of API that you called, I don't see where you add the address to the dsm address. Which is dsm_address_publish_add()

When you call the APIs, have you checked the return value if it's correct ?

Still, I would be interested in a solution that made possible hardcoding publication and subscription settings, so that no extra work would be necessary after flashing the firmware, other than provisioning the nodes of course.

In Mesh SDK v3.1.0 this is not necessary. I followed what the patch did and found that there is already a flag we can set to restore the publication period after boot, in nrf_mesh_config_core.h.

#define ACCESS_MODEL_PUBLISH_PERIOD_RESTORE 0 (default)

#define ACCESS_MODEL_PUBLISH_PERIOD_RESTORE 1 (changed)

The changed line solves my problem. In other words, it is a configuration issue in this Mesh SDK version, not a bug.

Hi Rmarques,

The dis-continuity of periodic publication has been discussed earlier in the forum. It's not a bug as it followed the spec. You can have a look at this case.

Could you try implement the patch ?
