How to add simple on/off client to Provisioner

[agathaKuan]

in Mesh SDK v2, simple on/off model  example, client node doesn't act as a provisioner.

But I still  want to combine provision & client in the same device.

Is that  just means add "simple_thingy_client_init ( ) " on provisioner's main.c ?

or I stilll have to do add others in provisioner project ?

I know that it is possible, but how ？

Hi Agatha, 

How exactly you want to integrate the lightswitch client into the provisioner ? 

In SDK v1.x we have 4 elements on the lightswitch client node. One element is provisioner and the others are light switch client elements. 

When you have the client integrated on the provisioner, you need to do configuration for the client locally.

If you only plan to have 1 client on the provisioner, it can be as easy as calling simple_on_off_client_init() because you only need one element. And then you assign the publication address of the client to the light server you want to control. 

 

If you plan to have multiple elements, you would need to declare the local unicast address matches with the number of elements. I would suggest you to follow what we did in SDK v1.0

Exactly I need to implement on nRF52840,

so I CAN NOT use SDK1.0 because there isn't nRF52840  SES project file.

And, I need 4 simple on/off client on provisioner.

PLZ, describe more about "do configuration for the client locally"

Hello AgathaKuan,

I would like to suggest you check the following link:

It is possible to generate nRF52840 SES workspace in mesh SDK 1.0.1

And you can take the reference from the light switch client to see how to run client model and provisioner in single node.

@Agatha: I already explained what you need to do to configure the clients locally in my answer. You can follow what Rick suggested, refer to the light switch client in SDK v1.0.

I see.

If it is possible to generate nRF52840 SES workspace in mesh SDK 1.0.1.

Is it possible to nRF52840 SES workspace in Thingy52  ?
