How can I modify the model's default publish period in the Provisioner example?

[Charmin]

I'm using nRF5 SDK for Mesh v5.0 and I'm evaluating the Provisioner example to provision a node with sensor server model .

I want to modify the default publish period of Sensor Server model.

But when I set the step_num to a non-zero value in Line 540 (see below) in node_setup.c, the configuration process failed.

 

......
case NODE_SETUP_CONFIG_PUBLICATION_SENSOR_SERVER:
case NODE_SETUP_CONFIG_PUBLICATION_SENSOR_SETUP_SERVER:
case NODE_SETUP_CONFIG_PUBLICATION_SCENE_SERVER:
case NODE_SETUP_CONFIG_PUBLICATION_SCENE_SETUP_SERVER:
    {
        access_publish_period_t publish_period =
            {
                .step_num = 1, 
                .step_res = ACCESS_PUBLISH_RESOLUTION_100MS //ACCESS_PUBLISH_RESOLUTION_100MS
            };
......

Hi Charmin, 

Could you let me know what exactly failed ? Was it on the provisioner node or on the provisionee  ? Do you have any log showing where it failed ? 

You can find in the same file node_setup.c in NODE_SETUP_CONFIG_PUBLICATION_HEALTH case in config_step_execute() we set step_num = 1 for the health model.

Sir, here is the RTT output on the provisioner node:

Hi Charmin, 

Status field 7 means Invalid Publish Parameters.

What I can see in the log is that you were trying to write to  "Sensor setup server". And it seems that in the node_setup it use the same parameter to the "Sensor server" . So most likely "Sensor setup server" doesn't support periodic publication and you shouldn't send the publication set with step_num = 1 to the "sensor setup server".

What you need to do is to split the setup for _SENSOR_SERVER  (for example case NODE_SETUP_CONFIG_PUBLICATION_SENSOR_SERVER) in config_step_execute() and change the parameters for these cases only, not all as you do now.

It's done! Thank you!
