How to control the custom model with nRF-Mesh-Library ?

[Bomin Lin]

Refer to this post，I did the same job to change simple_on_off model  into generic OnOff Model, and I could control the LED state with nRF Mesh application as well.

I have saw the source code for “nRF Mesh”(Android-nRF-Mesh-Library), and I got the code like that ModelConfigurationActivity.java

//Line 346
try {
    final ProvisionedMeshNode node = mViewModel.getExtendedMeshNode().getMeshNode();
    if(mActionOnOff.getText().toString().equals(getString(R.string.action_generic_on))){
        /*mActionOnOff.setText(R.string.action_generic_off);
        onOffState.setText(R.string.generic_state_on);*/
        //TODO wait for sdk implementation to test for transition state
        mViewModel.sendGenericOnOff(node, mTransitionStep, mTransitionStepResolution, delaySeekBar.getProgress(), true);
    } else {
        /*mActionOnOff.setText(R.string.action_generic_on);
        onOffState.setText(R.string.generic_state_off);*/
        //TODO wait for sdk implementation to test for transition state
        mViewModel.sendGenericOnOff(node, mTransitionStep, mTransitionStepResolution, delaySeekBar.getProgress(), false);
    }
    mActionOnOff.setEnabled(false);
    showProgressbar();
} catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
    Toast.makeText(this, ex.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Can you help me explain the API used above?

Does the current version of the library support other SIG Models? 

I want to know if I can use the same method to control a custom model, is there any related posts or tutorials?

Best Regards,

Hi Bomin,

The sendGenericOnoff function is described here. 

Currently, only the Generic OnOff model is supported in the nRF Mesh app. If you want to support any other SIG models, you will need to modify the code to this model.

This Youtube video might be helpful, as well as the source code for the Thingy:52 for seeing how the Generic OnOff model is applied there.
