Publication retransmit count and interval

bluetooth_mdw

Hi

it looks like the Publication Retransmit Count and Interval states default to 1 time and 100ms respectively. Is there a reason these defaults apply? I don't think it will be common to use this set of state values and it would be better to default them to zero.

Also, I have found that after provisioning a node, if I then go into the publication states and change the retransmit count and interval fields to zero/disabled, a composite value of 32 is still being transmitted to the node (I added some debug to my code to watch this). If I then apply the change a second time, I see the expected value of zero. This looks like a bug to me.

Regards

Martin

    Hello Martin, 

    Can you please provide some more information about your system? I presume you are using the nRF5 SDK for Mesh, but what version? 

    I will more information to forward to the correct team.

    Thanks!

    Kind regards,
    Øyvind

    Hi, no I'm using Zephyr but my query is about nRF Mesh, the smartphone application so I don't think the SDK on the device side matters in this case.

    I'm just suggesting that defaulting the Publish Retransmit states to non-zero values in nRF Mesh when a new node is provisioned and configured may be sub-optimal. I'm also suggesting there may be a bug relating to the updating of these state values from nRF Mesh since it seems to send the pre-change values the first time you click Apply and then your new values the second time.

    Thanks for clarifying, Martin! 

    We really appreciate your feedback. I will forward this to our team working with the nRF Mesh application. 

    Kind regards,
    Øyvind

    Hello,

    Are you talking about Android or iOS version of nRF Mesh?
    On iOS, the values default to Disabled, while on Android to 1 time and 0ms (which actually should be displayed as 50 ms). On Android there's also a bug, that the interval should come in 50 ms steps, starting from 50ms up to 1600ms, but the slider allows any value from 0 to 1600.

    We will investigate the other issue, but we need to know on which OS did you test it.
