How to configure a node for control model?

[Sash]

How to configure a node for control model. I have used light switch on/off template to implement a control mode but i i don't know how to make a control logic for client. Have to use only client at a time but if i run the code i'm getting error and it run both client and sever at same time. I have merge the client and server program for control model but i'm getting a error as NRF_INVALID_STATE which is in nrf_mesh_init function.Please help me and thanks in advance.

Which mesh sdk version are you currently using? Have you taken a look at the creating new models documentation? This documentation might also be helpful. What error are you currently receiving? As far as I know, we have not implemented a control model yet, but I have asked about this internally & will get back to you soon.

Thanks for your reply. I'm using mesh sdk 2.1.1. For control model i used light switch control example by merge client and server main.c i'm getting error as NRF_INVALID_STATE. I have problem to initialize mesh stack & softdevice for both client and server same time. only for first time i can use mesh stack and softdevice if use the same for server i get this error.

I have added the log which i get error:

<t: 0>, mesh_softdevice_init.c, 117, Initializing SoftDevice...
<t: 0>, mesh_softdevice_init.c, 75, Enabling BLE...
<t: 16>, mesh_softdevice_init.c, 109, sd_ble_enable: app_ram_base should be adjusted to 0x20002DA0

If i wont modify main.c file then only client or server will execute at a time. I think have to merge both client and server main.c files also because the uuid is in main.c

You can download this github repo to take a look how we integrated the generic on off client & server models in one example. This works to provision the 52840 dev kit (should work with the 52832 too I believe) with the nrf mesh app. More info is given in the two pdfs below:

Mesh Hands-on Android_october2018.pdf

Mesh Hands-on iOS_October2018.pdf

sure i will go through with those pdf. Can i know if we use control model first it act as client model for all servers after that should i need to erase(firmware)  the same board of control model to act as server for a client.

[Sash]

This example acts only one model at a time (acting as server model). I cant access both client and server in one example.

Can you please share with me provisoner code

[Bjørn Kvaale]

Do you mean the provisioner code for the github repo? If so, this is all done on the smartphone. See these github links for the nRF Mesh smartphone apps: iOS, Android.

My smartphone does not support Bluetooth 5

[Bjørn Kvaale]

You do not need Bluetooth 5 to use the nRF Mesh app. Have you tested the app?

[Sash]

yes, i remember now proxy will support in older version of bluetooth.It was working, but it could be better if i get log for provisoner.

It is provisioning server model first, but cant provision client model first and then server model

I want the node structure as Element 0: Configuration Client, Health Client and Generic on/off client. Element 1: Generic on/off Server
