How many mesh-nodes can be managed by a provisioner

I've read, that a provisioner/client in an application like the lightswitch example can only manage up to 50 nodes (servers), using persistent storage on a nRF52840 device.

Is that true? and if so, is there a way to increase this using the latest SDK for mesh 1.0.1?

  • It should be possible to support fairly large number of Nodes in the provisioner example, this is restricted solely by the amount of flash used to store the keys and addresses for a provisioned and configured node in the embedded provisioner. 

    The example in the Mesh SDK 1.0.1 can be extended but the button behavior must be modified so that it is scalable for more nodes, the server count should be increased.

    The next release of the Mesh SDK will provide a simpler way to scale the number of servers on the mesh and also separates out the provisioner and client to make the roles clearer.
