Comments on nRF Mesh Sniffer for Android

★★★★☆ Jan Pohanka · Aug 14, 2023

I cannot find a way how to properly import keys. Importing json exported from NRF Mesh ends with "Failed to import keys" message...

★★☆☆☆ Jonathan M · Aug 22, 2025

The export is only raw data, not unencrypted contents shown in the app. That makes this fairly useless for capturing logs to do any sort of complex analysis as you can't use them outside the app. Only useful for very basic checks.
