Configuring mesh transmission count and interval

No worries! To change the publish re-transmit parameters I'm using access_model_publish_retransmit_set instead which is working as intended.

I still haven't confirmed more than my last update that mesh_opt_core_adv_set actually changes the relay params, but will probably get to it eventually and update this thread then.

Sorry about the long delay.

Did you make any progress here?

The relay function (and other parameters) can be decided by already implemented macros and functions in the SDK.
Have you made sure that no calls to these will mess up your manual configuration?

IE.

NRF_MESH_OPT_NET_RELAY_ENABLE

Any updates on this?

Also, it seems to me that this way of changing the publish re-transmit count and interval is not working.

I've only managed to verify that turning on and off the relay function works this way (I think). Do i need to use some other function to configure the other parameters?

Thank you, that would be most welcome and appreciated!

Thanks for the additional information.

Yes, that is the correct way of changing these.

I'll do some tests to see if this might be a bug in the app. Or what could cause this.

Update: By testing a smaller network with 4 servers and 1 client it indeed seems like .enabled = false disables the relay feature, since the on/off messages sometimes arrive with a lowered TTL when it is set to true, but never when it is false. However the nRF App still says the servers are relays when looking in their configuration models. I don't know if this is a bug in the app or not.

It would still be nice to get a reassurance from you though, Joakim, that this is the correct way to change these parameters. Both for the publish retransmission at the source, and the relays retransmissions and relay feature on/off.

Of course, sorry for not mentioning that earlier. I'm using the SDK for mesh v.5.0.0, and the nRF5 SDK 17.1.0, i.e. the most recent versions.

I added the code in the main loop in main.c, after the initialize() and start() calls, but before the for-loop.

Some updates regarding the subject. By navigating to the configuration server in a nodes elements in the app (android) and manually updating the interface (swiping down), i can confirm that the retransmit count and interval gets set. The .enabled option setting the relay node feature seems to be disregarded however (always on), and I can't manually turn it off in the app either. These observations were only made for the relay servers.
I've still not managed or understood where to change the source's transmit count and interval.

Hi.

Thank you for your question.

Could you add some information about what version of the SDK you are working with?

Also, exactly where inside the example did you add your code? Maybe the defines you have added is re-defined at a later time.
