Low Power Node Support in Nordic BLE mesh

[Charile]

I'd like to use the nrf52832 as a mesh switch with battery powered. But I didn't find any sample code for the Low power feature in current mesh SDK v0.10.1. Does it support this feature now?

And does the light node support the friend feature?

After spending considerable time reading the Mesh documentation, without wishing to appear too ignorant, wouldn't it be a bad move to try and implement a pseudo friend relationship within the mesh?

Surely it would be preferable to do it properly and I'm assuming that a low power device would also be asked to join the mesh and be given appropriate keys in order to establish it's relationship with other devices. I further assume that the low power device would encrypt it's data, so like others that have been asking the same question, I'm reluctant to try and create a temporary integration to the mesh which should and probably will at some stage need to be replaced.
