Power consumption when transmitting data via BROADCASTING vs NOTIFICATIONS

[adam_atmo]

Hi,

We are developing the nRF52833 DK with NCS v2.00.

We are building a device that transmits various measured values from sensors every second for multiple hours (around 48-72 hours). We are considering sending data via notifications in a connection mode or alternatively just broadcasting the data (connectionless).

1. What are the pros and cons of these two options?

2. What is the difference in power consumption between these two options? Saving power is essential for the device since it may be on for an extended time.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Dejan,

Thank you. The Online Power Profiler tool doesn't provide data for the nRF52833. Is there another tool that I can use?

Kind Regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

Yes, there is no option to choose nRF52833. However, as this tool gives an estimate, the closest would be to look at the values for nRF52840.
