I know about mesh_stack_power_down() function and I have tried , If I call this API , the mesh is completely power down
what if I need to turn it ON again , can you tell me how to do that ?

The case I am telling about is this link : //devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/68937/sensor-server-model-sample-setup-the-periodic-publication-period-directly-in-the-code

Let me know if need any further elaboration

Hi,

nrf_mesh_disable() will stop the mesh communication (sending and receiving messages over the air.) It will not, for instance, remove any messages that were already pending. Therefore you will see after nrf_mesh_enable() that it continues wehere it left off, as if nothing had happened.

There is a function mesh_stack_power_down() which can be used to completely shut down the mesh stack (including storing to flash the state needed for starting up operations at a later point in time.) It is intended for a full power down (reset) situation. It is thoroughly documented on Infocenter: Power-down feature.

For low-power applications, you could consider the Low Power node feature. It does require some nodes in the network with Friend node capabilities, and the Friend feature enabled.

Regarding the other case that you mention, which case is that? Do you have a link?

Terje
