Joiner States Meaning

[simon8]

Could someone help me understand what's the meaning of these possible states for a joiner in a thread network?

    OT_JOINER_STATE_IDLE 

    OT_JOINER_STATE_DISCOVER  

    OT_JOINER_STATE_CONNECT   

    OT_JOINER_STATE_CONNECTED 

    OT_JOINER_STATE_ENTRUST   

    OT_JOINER_STATE_JOINED   

Thanks a lot

Hi,

The state tells you the state of the joiner device, i.e., where the joiner is in the joining process.

• OT_JOINER_STATE_IDLE: The joiner role is not started, so the joiner state of the device is idle.
• OT_JOINER_STATE_DISCOVER: The joiner role has started, and the device is discovering networks.
• OT_JOINER_STATE_CONNECT: The joiner is connecting to the network. It has established an unsecured local connection to the commissioner.
• OT_JOINER_STATE_CONNECTED: The joiner has sent a Joiner Finalization request
• OT_JOINER_STATE_ENTRUST: The joiner has been entrusted with the network credentials.
• OT_JOINER_STATE_JOINED: The joiner has successfully joined the network

You can find more information about the joiner process and the different states in the Thread specification.

Best regards,
Marte
