RE: beacons in conjunction with a server in a MESH

Sorry for the delayed response. Have you tried to provision the beaconing example via Interactive PyACI directly?

It should work to combine the light switch server with the beaconing example as you have done. There has been a devzone case related to this previously here. Regarding wireless interference between the mesh packets & the advertising beacon packets, this should not be an issue. The beaconing documentation explains a bit better how the beacon packets are scheduled (see Section Beacon transmission).

Are you using mesh sdk v2.1.1? Regarding your comment, do you receive any error messages from the reply_status() function when you send the neighbours_msg_status_t structure? Have you looked at the documentation provided for creating new models?

I want send this structure

/** Message format for the neighbours list message. */
typedef struct __attribute((packed))
{
    uint16_t*  present_neighbours; /**< Current neigbour list. */
} neighbours_msg_status_t;

via reply_status(...)

static void reply_status(const neighbours_server_t * p_server,
                         const access_message_rx_t * p_message,
                         uint16_t* present_neighbours)
{
    neighbours_msg_status_t status;
    status.present_neighbours = present_neighbours;
    access_message_tx_t reply;
    reply.opcode.opcode = NEIGHBOURS_OPCODE_STATUS;
    reply.opcode.company_id = NEIGHBOURS_COMPANY_ID;
    reply.p_buffer = (const uint8_t *) &status;
    reply.length = sizeof(status);
    reply.force_segmented = false;
    reply.transmic_size = NRF_MESH_TRANSMIC_SIZE_DEFAULT;
    reply.access_token = nrf_mesh_unique_token_get();
 
    (void) access_model_reply(p_server->model_handle, p_message, &reply);
}

but it doesn't work correct
