Disabling mesh to get low power consumption

Hi Vignesh R,

It's great to know you have found a solution to your problem.

Regarding the 2.5mA current drawn, some quick things to check are:

- Did the device enter sleep mode yet?
- Is logging/debugging still enabled?
- Is the setup measuring the current for the whole board, not just the nRF chip?

Since that topic would be different from the original intent of this thread, I must ask that you open a new Q&A for any further follow-up/support request.
As for this topic, it would also help the community if you could quickly write down what was wrong that made nrf_mesh_disable() not work.

Best regards,

Hieu

Hi,

update: I tried calling it in a handler and also switched to light_switch_client example, now it works both disabling and enabling mesh, but the current consumption is still avg.2.5mA when disabled.

Do i need to disable anything further to reduce consumption??

Thanks.

Hi Vignesh R,

Just want to let you know that I have received your question. However, I am out of office today, so my follow-up will be delayed to latest next week Tuesday.

Best regards,
