It should be possible. Does it not show up if you try to add it as a new node? What do you observe?

[quote user="ATHULYA_SHAJI"]Which version of nrf sdk is want to mesh On demand Private Proxy Server.[/quote]

No specific version required. But I suggest you don't use an SDK that is too old. Preferably NCS v2.6.0 or later.

Hi,

Which version of nrf sdk is want to mesh On demand Private Proxy Server.

Please replay.

Hello,

Yes, the light_switch sample can be used as a proxy node. If you look into it's prj.conf file, you can see:

CONFIG_BT_MESH_GATT_PROXY=y

which indicates that the proxy over BLE (GATT) is enabled.

We don't have any nRF implementation of using the proxy service. We only have implementation of a mobile app using this (the nRF Mesh Mobile app):

https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Mesh/GetStarted

You can see the github links to the right on that page to see the source code.

Since we don't decide how the proxy service works, we don't have much documentation on it either. It is decided by Bluetooth SIG.

However, they have some resources on how to use the Proxy Service that you can read up on:

https://www.bluetooth.com/bluetooth-resources/bluetooth-mesh-proxy-kit/

Hi,

Can light switch sample code is used for proxy node and it can used for connect other mesh nodes. Please reply.

Thank you

Hi,

Any example code is available?

Thank You

I see. so it has BLE, but not a Nordic device, and it doesn't support Bluetooth Mesh directly.

In that case, you are correct. You can use the Mesh Proxy service to communicate between the gateway and a proxy node.

By default, most of our samples act as a proxy node, so it can connect to any of the devices in the network.

We don't have a detailed description of the Proxy Service, as this is not something that we made. It is standardized by Bluetooth Mesh, as described here:

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/zephyr/connectivity/bluetooth/api/mesh/od_srv.html

I recommend that you download and go through Bluetooth SIG's Bluetooth Mesh Proxy Service guide, found here:

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/zephyr/connectivity/bluetooth/api/mesh/od_srv.html

Hi,

In my gateway have wifi part and ble part. The ble part is connect ble mesh devices and create mesh communication through the getway, the wifi part is send and receive message to mqtt server.

Thank you

Hello,

I am not sure you really need to use a proxy node. What do you imagine would be your gateway node? Computer? Raspberry Pi? Something else? Will it have an nRF on it? Will it have an nRF device connected via serial/USB? If not, what communication protocols does it have?

Best regards,
