When to turn on Notifications from the client

[chsi_1572801]

I have a generic question about notifications. Is it OK or good to have the client turn on notifications for one or more characteristic at connect time, right after I get the callback from the the services query on the client, and just leave them on? OR is it better to turn notifications on and off as needed. In my situation the server only sends notification data as user defined packets based on triggered events and never a continues stream. 

   

Thanks

Hi Chris,

   

It is recommended to turn ON and OFF the notifications when the client only needs. This would save power as it avoids notifications being sent by the server which will however be ignored by the client at time when it does not need.

   

However, apart from this, there is no problem in keeping them ON all the time.
