Relay, Wifi

Hello ,

I am using 4  nrf52 DK for Mesh 

1. how to I configure a Node as Relay 

2. How do I capture MESH Packets/ Data from Mesh   in Raspberry Pi and send to cloud

1) If you take a look at the light switch client example in the latest mesh sdk, you can see that there is a boolean variable called m_relay_enable, which can either be true or false. If it is set to true, then the relay functionality is already enabled. m_relay_enable is set to true in the network_init() function. This means that the relay functionality is already enabled at default.

2) You could use a nrf52 dk to receive the mesh packets & then send these packets to the Raspberry Pi via SPI or I2c for example. From there, you can use the Raspberry Pi to communicate to the cloud.

hi

Instead of SPI or I2C, Raspberry supports BLE with new Mesh SDK supporting GATT Proxy Can I make Raspberry Pi as part of Mesh ??

If you want to use the Nordic Mesh SDK out of the box, I would recommend my solution above. But if you really want to use the Raspberry Pi as part of your Mesh network, one of these three links might be useful: link 1, link 2, link 3. You could try sending the user ayman a message for some tips maybe?
