Zigbee RSSI value

[Marwa Sabbagh]

Hello, I'm working with nRF5340 DK with Zigbee communication. I'm getting RSSI values between 0-255, but I'm more interested in the value in dBm, so I would like to convert the value to dBm. Could you tell me how I can do that?

Best regards.

Hi,

Yes, that makes sense. When talking about signal strength, the closer it is to 0, the stronger the signal is. Increasing the distance between the devices will decrease the signal strength, and you will get a more negative value. So -80 dBm will be a weaker signal than -30 dBm.

Best regards,
