provision beacon question

[mark]

Hi guys,

I want to know whether the provisioning beacon can relay by the relay node or not?

If not, when the unprovisioned device's radio is not in the range of the provisioner, the only way to make the unprovisioned device to join the network is moving the unprovisioned device to nearly enough the provisioner, so that the provisioner can receive the provisioning beacon ?

when device program the firmware of pb_remote_server and it has been add to the mesh network. This device receive packet that it's data_type is "AD_TYPE_BEACON", beacon_type is "BEACON_TYPE_UNPROV", it will happen an event of "unprov_evt.type = NRF_MESH_EVT_UNPROVISIONED_RECEIVED", this event will be handled by "mesh_evt_handler", and I find that when "case NRF_MESH_EVT_UNPROVISIONED_RECEIVED:" it does nothing but break. I don't know how the unprovisioned device add in the mesh network through this device?!

Hi Mark,

You are correct about provisioning as described by the spec. The provisionee need to be in the range of the provisioner for provisioning.

What you asking for is the remote provisioning solution that we provided in the SDK. But you need to use both the Remote Provisioning Server and Remote Provisioning Client. The client is the provisioner and the server is the relay.
