Mesh: No conventional connection to LPN after Friendship is terminated

[mesh777]

I am using this Low Power Node example. Friendship works, however if I terminate Friendship and try to connect to LPN conventionally (via other proxy node) it does not work. 

The question is if it is intended behavior, or after the termination LPN shall react as normal node? Friendship re-establishment works though.

Hi.

No, I don't think that is implemented in any way on the LPN example. You will need a friend node for the LPN to establish a friendship with.

After the termination of the friendship, the LPN node should go back to a state where you can establish a new friendship.

Thanks for response Joakim.

Finally I found that it is possible to set normal behavior for LPN after termination of Friendship.

In nrf_mesh_config_core.h there is defined MESH_FEATURE_LPN_ACT_AS_REGULAR_NODE_OUT_OF_FRIENDSHIP it needs to be set to 1.

That's right.

Thanks for sharing your solution for others to benefit from.
