How to add multiple elements in a server node?

[Prasad]

I am experimenting with the mesh light-switch example. I want to control two LEDs on a single node using the SimpleOnOff model. I know I should add a separate element and add the second SimpleOnOff model in it, but how do I do it? Is there any sample code which you can point me to?

I did this in the server application application. When I press button 2 on the server board, LED 2 gets lit up, but now how do I control it from button 2 of my client board?

I have been studying the server, client and provisioner application since yesterday, I understand that I would need to do some changes in the provisioner application. Can someone from Nordic respond to this question??

Hi,

Yes, you have to make some changes in the provisioner application. Seems like the code in the server application is correct, I suggest you to have a look at this post.
