interactive_pyaci not found low power node when I used scan_start() command.

I used "nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v4.2.0_src.zip" and "nRF5_SDK_V16.0.0", When I used scan_start() command, I saw  Light_Switch_Server device and Light_Switch_Client device on the list device found , but I not Saw Low Power node.

  • Hi Duan, 

    The Low power node doesn't do normal Mesh communication/provision. So you can't use the interactiv_pyaci to provision it. The only option to provision LPN is to use a phone and provision it via PB-GATT. It's designed that way because the LPN node is not supposed to have enough energy to do normal PB_ADV provisioning. 
    Note that, even after it's provisioned, you still can't se the interactive_pyaci to interact directly with the node. The LPN only communicate with a friend node.
