Hi,

The way mesh models work, is that they have a set of subscriptions, which is the addresses they listen for messages to, and they have a publication address, which is the address they use when sending messages.

That means, you need to configure the Publish Address as well, for any node that needs to publish data.

I see that our documentation on Infocenter is not properly explaining the required setup for the sensor example, as the "Setting publication and subscription with nRF Mesh" section of the Examples documentation only mentions setting publication address for the client, and setting up the subscriptions on the server. But the sensor server is also capable of publishing status updates that are not a response to client requests, and for that it needs to have a publication address.

Hi Terje,

Sensor Server:

Binding to AppKey1

Subscription address 0xC00A

Sensor Setup Server:

Binding to AppKey1

Subscription address 0xC00A

Yes I have followed the Testing the example section. I am using nRF Mesh App for Android for provisioning. And I am testing the example on nRF52 DK.

Hi,

The error message that you posted was from the sensor server model, not from the sensor client model. What configuration do you do for the sensor server?

Are you following the Testing the example section of the sensor example documentation? What provisioner, and how many and what boards are you using? If I get all the details how you test it, I can try to reproduce.

Regards,
Terje

Hi,

What is the full configuration of the model?

Hi,

I have provisioned and configured the device. I have also set the publish address.

Hi,

The reported status value of 7 comes from the call to sensor_server_status_publish(). Looking at the chain of function calls leads to access_model_publish(), and error value 7, which is NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM, from this API call, means that either the model is not bound to an application key (appkey), or the publish address is not set.

Have you both provisioned and configured the device? That is, is it configured to use a specific appkey, and is the publish address set on the sensor model?

Terje
