The Bluetooth LE server supports up to nine client connections, please check the configuration of pa-
rameter ble_max_conn for applications. For stable connection, three clients should be good.

• By default, the power level of ESP32 SDK is 5, and the corresponding transmit power is +3 dBm.
• The power level of ESP32 Bluetooth ranges from 0 to 7, with the corresponding transmit power ranges from
-12 dBm to 9 dBm. Each time the power level increases by 1, the corresponding transmit power will increase
by 3 dBm.
4.1.24 Is it possible to use Wi-Fi Smartconfig and Bluetooth® LE Mesh for ESP32 si-
multaneously?
It is not recommended to use them simultaneously.
• The Smartconfig will need to receive the networking data, thus occupying the antenna all the time.
If it is used together with Bluetooth LE Mesh, there will be an extremely high rate of failure.
• The Bluetooth LE Mesh can be used together with BluFi. So it is recommended to use BluFi for
networking.
