Which is the most efficient way to disable and enable Bluetooth mesh stack in order to extend battery life?

Hi,

I am using sensor server model to build our application on top of it. We want to save juice in the battery as much as possible. In order to that, I must disable bluetooth mesh stack and enable the stack on a periodic basis. On enabling, the node should publish data to the destined address (Set through model configuration) and the stack should be disabled immediately and enabled after a specific interval for periodic publishing.  I do not want to use low power node feature as we only want to publish the data and not poll data from a friend node. What would be the efficient way to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

If a Low power node can periodically publish the data from a sensor server model, would you please guide me as on how to store and restore the model publishing state for the sensor server model. The sensor_server example is not storing the model publication state in flash and hence the model publication information is lost on reboot. Queried about the same issue in this link

Hi,

Publishing data works the same for LPN as for other nodes. Friendship is only concerning reception. In other words, a node where the main functionality is to publish, can be a Low Power Node without any noticeable change in functionality. You will save a lot of power in exchange for latency on incoming messages.

I see you have gotten an answer in the other thread, about enabling the ACCESS_MODEL_PUBLISH_PERIOD_RESTORE setting in order for the node to remember the publish settings.
