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"

@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  ?

Hello AgathaKuan,

No, we are not able to use nRF52840 SES workspace in Thingy 52, because Thingy is using nRF52832.

[agathaKuan]

sorry , I means "program thingy project on nRF52840"

Because I have successfully program thingy project on 52832 pca10040,

(of course I disable many external sensors and the 3-color led),

and SDK 13 do support softdevice s140,

now I wonder if it is possible to program it on nRF52840 pca10056.

Hello AgathaKuan,

For working on nRF52840, I would like to suggest you compare the difference between nRF52840 SES workspace setting and also nRF52832 SES workspace.
But after the meeting in Leaderson office, I would suggest you to look into serial interface for your design, because you want to use an external MCU as host. If you found any issue related to serial interface, I would like to suggest you checking the mesh SDK document, searching the related threads in Devzone, or rising another ticket in Devzone for serial interface issue.

Hi, 

Too many misleads here, SDK 101 is not right way. file structure is changed a lot.

SKD 2.1.1 support Client to be integrated to  provisioner.

hi  Brent

I have opened Mesh V2.1.1 and have not seen Client to be integrated to  provisioner.how did you do it？
