https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/52292/power-consumption-ble-meshHi, Using power profiler I measured power consumption of BLE mesh and it gives ~12mA. What I would like to know is why the device is consuming more power during scan. And I see in &quot;scanner_init&quot; function we are setting power and how does it effecten-USTelligent Community 13Thu, 19 Sep 2019 09:04:28 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/210646?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 19 Sep 2019 09:04:28 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:e1a603ac-7bcc-44a5-ac17-519fa4fce9e4Mttrinh<p>Hi,</p> <p>It is normal that a device is consuming more power during a scan. Just note that u<span>sing Bluetooth Mesh causes higher power consumption than traditional Bluetooth low energy applications. This is mainly due to the need for keeping the radio running constantly.&nbsp;Bluetooth Mesh is a broadcast-based network protocol, where every device in the network sends and receives all messages to and from all devices within radio range.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>Setting power in that function will affect the transmit power of the radio.</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
