Mesh proxy & Nus service performance

[huybk213]

Dear all,

I have a plan to use NUS service alongside with proxy Mesh.
I tried to find documents about mesh performance with Nus service?

Could you please give me more information? How can i optimize Mesh performance while ble service is running?

Thank you.

Hi

Sorry about the delayed reply, but Terje is on vacation, and we're just now getting to the backlog, as the summer vacation period has left us low on staff.

How will your Mesh proxy node know when to start advertising as a NUS peripheral instead of acting as a Mesh node? A BLE central won't be able to connect to the proxy node unless it advertises as a (regular) BLE peripheral. A suggestion would be to have a button on the device that you can press when you'd like to connect to it using a BLE central.

If you don't want to interact with it like that, you would have to have a timer that makes the device stop acting as a Mesh proxy node every now and then to advertise for the BLE central. I think this was Terje's concern in his last reply, as this would take away from the time the Mesh node was operative, and therefore compromise the Mesh functionality.

Best regards,

Simon
