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()".

Hi,

Can you try to disable scanner by calling scanner_disable() together with nrf_mesh_disable()? Then enable scanner with scanner_enable() and call nrf_mesh_enable() when device wakes up. Disabling scanner may significantly reduce power consumption.
