Great to hear Brent! Did you set MESH_FEATURE_GATT 1 & GATT_PROXY 1 in the nrf_mesh_config_core.h header file?

Hi,Bjorn

No worries, I solved the case!

Simply set Mesh_Feature_Gatt==0, Gatt_Proxy==1.

hI,Bjoorn

I am doing the same , light_ switch_proxy_client can establish a GATT_Service with smartphone before provision, but disappeared after provision/configuration , when proxy() disabled.

Accroding to <<MESH 1.0>>, GATT can only have to services, GATT_Provision, and GATT_Proxy. if provisioned with PB_GATT, the PB_GATT will be closed.

I tried to change Provision_bearer to PB_ADV, but failed.

Could you help with this case ?

Thanks

Brent Dong

Yes, you are correct. The proxy client example is essentially a light switch client with a proxy server. Just as the light switch client does, the light switch client with proxy server will be able to turn on & off the lights on other light switch server nodes in the mesh network, in addition to talking to GATT based devices (like smartphones).

Hi Bjorn,

I use the light switch demo about proxy_server & proxy_client,but in fact they are the server and client for simple_on_of model and they are both the proxy servers .could you please tell me what's the function of the the proxy client will have?

yeah ,thanks for your reply and i can create a link between the proxy node and a smartphone,but it failed to send/receive the data, the same as in others' problems in the other cases.

1) The phone will act as the provisioner & will be able to communicate with the proxy client & proxy server example. I believe it will be similar to the provisioner light switch example in the current mesh sdk v2.0.1.

2) Are you referring to the provisioner app or mesh in general?

3) From my understanding, you'll want to make an nrf52 device for example a proxy node. Then, this node will be able to communicate with a smartphone. I do not believe the idea is to implement the proxy node on a smartphone.

Regarding your last question, you could give it a shot with the nrf connect or nrf toolbox app & see if you can connect to the proxy node.

Hi Bjorn,can you give me some suggestions for configuring a phone to communicate with a proxy node ?

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.

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.

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.

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.
