power up mesh stack after execution of "mesh_stack_power_down()"

[krajiiva]

Hello

My setup looks like this.
I am using nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v5.0.0 with nRF5_SDK_17.0.2.
I have extended the sensor model example (in  nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v5.0.0) and call the function "mesh_stack_power_down()" during operation. After calling this function my system also consumes only 5-6uA which is great. However, I can't manage to power up the mesh stack afterwards so there are no mesh asserts. I tried the function "mesh_stack_start()", but that doesn't really work either. Can you tell me how exactly I have to power up the mesh stack after calling the function "mesh_stack_power_down()" and what exactly I have to consider when powering down and powering up the mesh stack.

Thanks already.

Hi,

The stack is not designed to be restarted without rebooting the device after calling "mesh_stack_power_down()".

Hello,

How else can i reduce the power consumption to the maximum without using the low power feature?
With "nrf_mesh_disable()" I can reduce the power consumption to about 30uA, but I want to go down to 5-6uA. My module makes measurements during 5-6s and after that it goes into sleep mode where it stays for about 24h. So it is important to have the lowest possible power consumption in sleep. In addition, the mesh should be able to be restarted and switched on again afterwards. Can you help me there?

Can you tell me how I can reduce the power consumption to 5-6uA and can use the mesh stack again without any problems.

Thanks already.
