When Nordic will release the mesh friend nodes support SDK.

Hi,

Glad to see Nordic just released a new alpha version SDK yesterday! I am wondering when you will release the mesh friend nodes support SDK? I mean support those low power mesh node like temperature nodes, with very long broadcast(message) interval.

Roadmap questions can be answered in the one on one support portal. That stated, low power devices are already supported with the Mesh as you can use existing BTLE advertising or connection to connect with Mesh nodes.

The Mesh SDK supports all existing BTLE roles in addition to the Mesh role, so you should be able to get your usecase supported even without friend support on Mesh.

These methods are already used in commercial products like energy harvesting switches that integrate with the Mesh.
