Thank you,

That actually works after refreshing configuration server page, but it is not reflecting in the the info page.

Initially, after provisioning, the state of Relay feature is unknown. We only know that it's supported (the flag in Composition Data has supported/not supported meaning). We need to map it to Enabled/Disabled/Not supported (3 states) of the relay state in CDB (database). It may incorrectly be mapped to Disabled until you pull to refresh in Config Server Model screen. Then it reads the current state and should also update Device Features. We'll look into it.

Hi,

I have been able to reproduce; the nRF Mesh app displays the node features as if Relay is disabled, and the Relay section of the configuration server is grayed out. I tested both the sensor server and the chat sample, and both show the same behavior.

After a "drag downward" gesture in the configuration server view, the values gets reloaded and show the correct values of Retransmit Count 2, Retransmit Interval 20 ms (chat example). Using nRF Mesh v3.2.4 for Android.

I have asked the mobile apps team for comment.

Terje

Hi,

Which version of nRF Connect SDK are you using? The latest release at the time of writing is version 2.0.2, while the documentation you refer to is version 1.4.2. Since then the BLE controller has been changed from the Zephyr Controller to the SoftDevice Controller, as well as many additions and some fixes to the Bluetooth mesh stack.

I do not see anything wrong with the configs. I would expect CONFIG_BT_MESH_RELAY=y to enable the relay feature.

Do you see the same issue when using the example in the latest release of nRF Connect SDK?

If you do see the same issue in the latest release of nRF Connect SDK, what are the steps for reproducing? What example, what board, and how do you see it is not relaying?
