Sending and Receiving CoAP Thread data

[simon8]

Hi, i wonder how could i send data from a coap_server to a coap_client with thread, for example a temperature data: what are the main functions to declare and use to do so?

Hi, Due to Christmas holidays, we are a bit thinly staffed and we hope that you can wait until next week for our thread experts to return and answer your query. Thanks a lot for your patience.

Yes no problem

Hi Simon,

I have checked with experts regarding this.. If you want to send data from server to client application over CoAP, you will need to implement client on server side and server on client side. Or you can send packages through UDP, which would be less setup/configuration.

I'm wondering how could i send data from my personal thread network to a device, like a smartphone, through the border router as well.

Is there a way?

Hi Simon,

It is possible to do this.. Thread supports IPv6. Therefore, as long as both the phone and Thread device have IPv6 connectivity there is no problem to send packets between them through the border router. If the phone only have IPv4, then the border router need to implement NAT64 or similar. Hope this clears your doubt..
