provisionning using nRF Mesh

[Mickael Marty]

hi,

I tried to provision the light example using the nRF Mesh app.

So far, I succedded in provisionning the device but i couldn't set the publish suscribed addresses, and therefore use the example.

From my understanding of the spec, the client should publish to the server element's address which in turn should suscribe to  the client element address. I also assumed that publishing status would require the server to publish to an address suscribed by the client(eg it's element unicast address).

I can set the publish address corectly but i didn't succed in setting the suscribed one. Any idea why?

Also, where can i find documentation about the app? It is not referenced here or in the info center

Also, i noticed that writting an address of less than four digits causes the app to crash.

Thank you,

best regards,

Mickael

Hi,

Which iOS version are you using? Are you using iOS 10.x? If yes, this is a known issue and will be fixed soon.

If you are using iOS 11.x, can you upload som crash logs that we can have a look at?

Unfortunately, we do not have any documentation for the app in place yet.

Hi,

I'm testing the new BLE Mesh app for iOS with nRF52840-Preview-DK boards and Mesh SDK 2.0.1.

The nodes provisioning works well.

How could I test the Simple OnOff Server?

I suppose I can test the board led on/off from my smartphone. Right?

Is it possible to add the bluetooth sig light on/off model?

Thank you.

Hi Mickael, thanks for testing nRF Mesh for iOS!

First of all, let's try things out to make sure we're on the same page,

1. Download the latest version from the app store (v1.0)
2. Provision your node (needs to have a GenericOnOff Server model so you can test the LED)
3. Go to the GenericOnOff Model's view
4. Bind the app key
5. Press the toggle switch and observe the LED turning On/Off (This will use the unicast address of the model's element)
6. Add a subscription group address, let's say `0xCEEF`, note that this will support only Group addresses, not the Unicast.
7. Press the toggle switch and observe the LED turning OnOff/ (This will now be using the group address instead)

Repeat all of the above for as many nodes as you like, as long as you set the same subscription address `0xCEEF` in that case, all the nodes will turn on/off when you toggle the switch.

Note: Node control through the app will only work with the `GenericOnOffServer` model, any other models are not implemented, don't confuse it with `SimpleOnOffServer` if you see it.
