there are proxy client and proxy server in the light switch demo of mesh sdk v2.0.1.the proxy client can't be provisioned after i had provisioned another client,is there only a client excites in mesh?

and i want to regard smartphone as a proxy node in order to control these nodes in mesh.can i complete it ? what could i do to achieve it?

could you give me some valid advice.

thanks in advanced.

The light switch demo is setup to use one client & one or multiple servers. As far as I know, it won't work to add a normal client & proxy client to make that work out of the box with the light switch example.

You can take a look at the alpha version of the nRF Mesh Provision app for iOS. This preview version should let you provision & configure Mesh nodes. The firmware includes the proxy_client & proxy_server examples from the light switch example to be able to communicate in the mesh network with each other, while also talking to the iOS smartphone.

thanks for your reply,i've read about  this link but actually i don't  understand the contents about it.

is it a plan to create an app for ios system?i can get some ideas from it but not too much.

now i can connect the proxy server with my phone via nrfConnct ,but when i send data to server it doesn't work.i can see it send successfully but i can't receive it from proxy server (there is no change on the board and no information shows in rtt viewer).if i send 01 byte the server will disconnect.is there some bugs of proxy server?i cant express it.

waiting for your reply.

An iOS nrf mesh app will be released soon to provision & configure mesh nodes using the proxy client & server examples.

I do not believe the nrf connect app will work out of the box with the proxy server example unfortunately.

oh i have a great interested in the app and everything about proxy.but i still have some questions:

1.is the phone with the app will as  a  proxy node or proxy client in mesh?

2.can i add/delete nodes in mesh and send/ressive datas to/from a specific node by limiting the value of ttl or addressing?

3.is there bluetooth protocol for mobile phones to configure the phone as a proxy node(maybe java to coding)?and could you share me with it?i can't find it anywhere.

thanks for your help.
