Android App for Bluetooth Mesh on nRF52832.

[ajay]

I am about to develop a Bluetooth Mesh network with the nRF52832.

With the PCA10040, i already able to form a Bluetooth Mesh Network, such that there is one client act as the provisioner, and two board act as a provisionee.

Therefore, the two provisionee will able to locate the provisioner and register the key to setup the Mesh Network.

If i would like to turn my android mobile to be the provisioner, and i would only use the mobile to authen all the provisionee from the development board.

Do you know where should i startup ?

Regards, Ajay

It's released today :)

Hi any phone support BLE should be able to work with the app. What kind of error do you have ? And how did you find out that the app doesn't support Samsung Tab ?

Hi Hung,

I tried this app today and I successfully provisioned all the nodes, first the switch and then the servers.

However, when I try to talk with the servers, I get a message on the switch node saying: Ignored. Node is not configured.

Is this app compatible with the light_switch_example from the Mesh SDK?

Hi Paulo, 

Please create a new case next time you have a question related. 

The app can be used to provision/configuration any models. However, to be able to use the app to send a on/off command to a server, the server need to implement Generic On/Off model, not the simple on/off model we have in the example. 

 

You can have a look at the thingy demo source code (that used in the video demo) where we use the generic on off model. They are very similar though.

Hi Hung,

Sorry, I'm afraid I didn't explain my self right.

My objective was not to control the servers from the phone (yet) but rather to provision/configure the servers AND one client board, and then control the servers through the client board. However I get the error described in previous message: Ignored. Node is not configured.

Another question: this example you mentioned is for Thingy, is it compatible with the nRF 52DK as well?

Thank you in advance!

[Hung Bui]

Yes, you can use the demo for Thingy on a DK, but you need to modify some code to turn off and on LED otherwise you won't see any reaction. But at least you can do provisioning/configuration. 

 

Please try again with another phone if possible. Also please provide a screenshot when you see the issue. Please create a new case and point to the case from here.

Hi again Paulo,

I think I know the issue you have now. It's a bug in the implementation of the client code. It only works if all 4 client models have been configured. You can fix it by modifying client_publication_configured() to only check for the button has been pressed, not checking all the buttons.

Hi Hung,

Thank you for the reply.

I modified the client_publication_configured() to only check for the button that has been pressed, but without success.

I created a new case with more details.


BR,
