Change the name of the node in the esp ble mesh

Hello,
While building the esp ble mesh, the name of the node displayed while provisioning is displayed as the "ESP-BLE-MESH", I want to change the name to something else. Please let me know the procedure for that.

EDIT: Don't use this method, see my later reply.
The name is set in "components/bt/esp_ble_mesh/mesh_core/proxy_server.c", on line 1442:
Code: Select all
strncpy(device_name, "ESP-BLE-MESH", DEVICE_NAME_SIZE);
You can trace this back up to figure out an appropriate point to insert your own name, or simply replace this string.

OK since posting that earlier reply I've found a much better solution (even though it's old, putting it here for others with this issue), and it turns out there's just a function which wasn't in any of the documentation I had read called
Code: Select all
esp_bt_dev_set_device_name(const char* name)
which means you don't have to muck around with ESP-IDF's source code and can leave proxy_server.c alone. Call it after calling
. Makes sense there would be a function for it, just took me forever to actually find it!

Just wanted to point out that for the ESP32-C3, it can be done by
Code: Select all
bt_mesh_set_device_name(const char *name);
