Inga, I think I found root cause of the problem. There is a bug in a way custom models are parsed, so parsing fails quietly and correct information doesn't get written to the provisioner db. This happens only when there is more than one custom model in composition data. The patch is pretty trivial and self-explanatory: --- bluez.orig/mesh/node.c 2017-11-21 18:04:57.000000000 +0100 +++ bluez/mesh/node.c 2017-11-24 21:37:16.000000000 +0100 @@ -432,7 +432,7 @@ bool node_parse_composition(struct mesh_ len -= 2; } while (len >= 4 && v--) { - mod_id = get_le16(data); + mod_id = get_le16(data + 2); vendor_id = get_le16(data); mod_id |= (vendor_id << 16); if (!node_set_model(node, ele->index, mod_id)) Identical error prevents composition data from being printed out correctly: --- bluez.orig/mesh/prov-db.c 2017-11-21 18:04:57.000000000 +0100 +++ bluez/mesh/prov-db.c 2017-11-24 21:36:12.000000000 +0100 @@ -676,7 +676,7 @@ bool prov_db_add_node_composition(struct } while (len >= 4 && v--) { - mod_id = get_le16(data); + mod_id = get_le16(data + 2); vendor_id = get_le16(data); mod_id |= (vendor_id << 16); data += 4; Btw, should I post an official patch? I'm new to this group.
