Help with Static Provisioning and Group Configuration in Bluetooth Mesh (nRF SDK / Zephyr)

[vamsi123]

Hello,

I’m currently working on a Bluetooth Mesh project using Nordic Semiconductor devices, and I would like to get guidance on static provisioning and group-based communication without using the nRF Mesh mobile app.

Specifically, I want to understand:

1. Which Zephyr or Nordic sample I should use to implement a static provisioner in code (instead of using the mobile app).
2. How to configure and assign a group address in this static provisioner setup.
3. How to add devices (nodes) into the configured group programmatically.
4. How to send mesh messages to that group.

I am using the nRF52 DK as the provisioner and Thingy:52 as the nodes.

Any suggestions, sample code references, or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
vamsi pamsietty

Hello,

We don't have any samples that auto-provisions nodes, unfortunately. The closest I can think of is a provisioner sample found in NCS\zephyr\samples\bluetooth\mesh_provisioner, but this doesn't bind any models.

I do, however, have a ticket with a different user who seems to be on the track of something:

 Autoprovisioning and autoconfiguring of nRF52840 

Perhaps you can look into his code and check if there is something you can use there.

Best regards,

Edvin
