Can a proxy node and a provisoning node be a single node

[SiddhantG]

Currently we are exploring the features of BLE mesh to integrate this in upcoming project.
In this architecture, we plan to use 2 Provisioner in the mesh and one of the provisioner to act as a proxy node so one of the BLE device which does not have mesh stack can be a part of the mesh because of proxy node.

Please let us know if there are any examples for the same or relevant topic.

Hi,

The GATT proxy feature can be supported by any mesh node, including provisioners. So yes, you can have a node which acts as both provisioner and GATT proxy.

In nRF Connect SDK, which you should use for new projects, the GATT proxy feature is enabled through the CONFIG_BT_MESH_GATT_PROXY configuration. It is already slected for most Bluetooth Mesh samples in the SDK.
