Mesh Relay

[arunbm123]

hi

I want to design Nodes for asset tracking. These Nodes will be spread out in a building. A moving object will have a BLE -Advertosor. The Nodes will detect Moving object and  pass the information to BL-WIFI Gateway.

1) Is it Necessary that provision should be withing range of Device to provision the Device?

2) The Relay Nodes should also detect the Advertiser and capture its ID and send this information to BL-WIFI Gateway.

3) The BL-WIFI Gateway should also be provisioned

Any help will be appreciated

1) There is a remote provisioning example in the mesh sdk, which allows you to provision a device that is not in radio contact with the provisioner via the Mesh network.

2) Should be possible

3) Should be possible to provision a gateway, although you would need to write the code yourself, as there is currently no example code for a mesh gateway.

hi,

I want to use Raspberry for BlWifi gateway.

As I understand, provisioner allocates address to nodes at time of provision Do I need to provision Pi also. How do I set destination Of Packets to raspberry

hi

Can I reduce the bluetooth Range for testing Mesh Network in single room.

Whats happing is I have to keep the Development Kits  far away while testing mesh

I am not sure how to provision a raspberry pi, as I only work with Nordic Semiconductor products unfortunately. So I will not be able to help much with this problem unfortunately. This link might be helpful for you.

You can modify the tx output power to test in a single room (see link).
