Server does not receive a publish message

[djbs0517]

Hello guys, I am trying to publish a message using the API esp_ble_mesh_model_publish(model, opcode, sizeof(data), data, ROLE_NODE) into a group, but the node subscribing it is not receiving the message. The publication is done with a client vendor model I created. The role defined is a Node.

To do that publication in the client node, I set a esp_ble_mesh_model_t model using the esp_ble_mesh_find_vendor_model api, and then manually set the model->pub->publish_addr with the group address I defined (0xC001).

[Codebox] esp_ble_mesh_model_t *model = NULL;
uint32_t opcode = ESP_BLE_MESH_VND_MODEL_OP_TEMPERATURE_ACTUATOR_SET;
uint8_t data[3] = {};
data[DATA_TEMPERATURE_POSITION] = (uint8_t)&dht_state[0].temperature;

ESP_LOGI(TAG,"Inside gen_onoff_set_handler()");

model = esp_ble_mesh_find_vendor_model(&elements[ELEMENT_INDEX],CID_ESP, ESP_BLE_MESH_VND_MODEL_ID_TEMPERATURE_CLIENT);
if (!model) {
return ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG;
}

// Add the Group address into the model publish_addr in which the message
// will be published
model->pub->publish_addr = TEMPERATURE_GROUP_ADDRESS;

....

err = esp_ble_mesh_model_publish(model, opcode, sizeof(data), data, ROLE_NODE);[/Codebox]

In the server node, the subscribing is done inside ESP_BLE_MESH_MODEL_OP_MODEL_APP_BIND case, in the callback function for configuration server:

[Codebox]
case ESP_BLE_MESH_MODEL_OP_MODEL_APP_BIND:
ESP_LOGI(TAG, "ESP_BLE_MESH_MODEL_OP_MODEL_APP_BIND");
ESP_LOGI(TAG, "elem_addr 0x%04x, app_idx 0x%04x, cid 0x%04x, mod_id 0x%04x",
param->value.state_change.mod_app_bind.element_addr,
param->value.state_change.mod_app_bind.app_idx,
param->value.state_change.mod_app_bind.company_id,
param->value.state_change.mod_app_bind.model_id);

esp_err_t err = esp_ble_mesh_model_subscribe_group_addr(param->value.state_change.mod_app_bind.element_addr,
param->value.state_change.mod_app_bind.company_id,
param->value.state_change.mod_app_bind.model_id,
TEMPERATURE_GROUP_ADDRESS);
if(err != ESP_OK){
ESP_LOGE(TAG, "Failed to subscribe the Group Address");
}

break;
[/Codebox]

When I try to publish the messages in the client node, the ESP_BLE_MESH_MODEL_PUBLISH_COMP_EVT is not generated, according to serial logs:
[Codebox]

[/Codebox]

Am I missing any step to proceed with the publication.
