adding another LED to a server node in light control mesh example

[ms3412amo]

Hi, I would like to control 2 LEDs independantly with the same server node. Should I try to [1] add a element with the same simple on/off model in that server node OR [2] modify the simple on/off model to add another LED control in that model. Which one is the easier between [1] or [2]. Thank you.

Hi ms3412amo,

If you're using the simple on/off model, you have to go for option [1]. You cannot have two instances of a model on a single element, as per the Bluetooth Mesh specification. However, you create a new model that is a Light fixture model controlling two+ lights. Still, I'd recommend this to span multiple elements (have a look at the more complex lighting models in the Bluetooth Mesh model specification). The general idea is that it's the element that holds the state and the model operates on it.

Best,
Thomas
