Question regarding the CC2351, device-limit and device removal

[abraxas767]

Hi there,

My situation:

I got 25 Aquara Temperature Sensors which i want to connect with the CC2351. I reach the device limit at the 20th sensor. Now I want to get rid of one of the connected sensors in the network and pair another one. If I remove / force remove (via mqtt) a sensor, the device limit is still present and I cant connect other sensors even though I now have only 19 devices connected.

I get that battery powered devices cant receive removal requests, but is this really the default behaviour of the CC2351. If I press the reset button to remove a sensor, the behaviour is as I wished it to be. But do I really have to press 20 reset-buttons if I truly want to get rid of them? Is there an easier way?

I hope my question makes sense :/

Thanks for helping out :)

regards

If you remove devices via force remove the only way to free up this place in the device table is by reflashing the CC2531 (won't require repairing of devices).
