Hi.

Sorry about the long delay in response.

The controller doesn't provide such information for rx functions of gatt characteristics. Mesh doesn't have any sources to pick up this information. Proxy srv/cli always set rx rssi value to 0.

As a solution you can register your own connection callback (BT_CONN_CB_DEFINE) to get the connection handle. Then you can call HCI command to read out RSSI value whenever you want to.
You can take a look at this sample on how this can be done: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/main/samples/bluetooth/hci_pwr_ctrl/src/main.c

Also, you need to check the role in the connected callback (BT_CONN_ROLE_PERIPHERAL) and identity (BT_ID_DEFAULT) like we do here:
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/0e6c306dcec991311b11b4090430ade43d04777e/subsys/bluetooth/mesh/pb_gatt_srv.c#L102-L106

I've talked to our developers, and currently there is no plans to add reading RSSI value in proxy messages. But this might change in the future.

Thanks.

I don't have an Android phone to reproduce at the moment, but I'll ask our developers about it.

Hi.

Thank you for your question.

Might be due to a limitation on the phone side, but I'll investigate. Could you also share which OS you are using on your phone?
