Hi Brevy,
Could you double check if MESH_FEATURE_RELAY_ENABLED is set to 1 in your code ?

Could you try to test using the light switch example , I don't think it would be much different to the dimming example but it worth to try.

What was your "direct communication range" ? When you put the 3rd node in between 2 nodes, they are in directed communication range ?

To check if the note actually doing relay or not you can do this to enable logging for the NETWORK layer :

__LOG_INIT(LOG_SRC_APP | LOG_SRC_BEARER|LOG_SRC_NETWORK, LOG_LEVEL_DBG1, LOG_CALLBACK_DEFAULT);

When checking the log you can find when the node receives a mesh packet (RX) and when it retransmit a packet (TX).
