How to configure a node for control model?

Hi, I'm currently facing the same issue. I've built a control model with both server and client functionalities, essentially merging the Generic OnOff Client and Server models, and modifying the data being sent. My program compiles and flashes to the boards, and I'm able to provision each one, but if I provision one and configure it, then try to provision the other, the first one disconnects.

@Satheesh Would you be open to sharing your solution, or even source code? :)

Thanks for your support, I have built control model.

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

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

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

My smartphone does not support Bluetooth 5

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.

Can you please share with me provisoner code

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

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.

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:

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

yes, exactly

yes, you mean i have to write control logic in simple on/off model (merged).

I am not sure that you need to merge the client & server main files. I believe the most important thing is that you implement control logic to control the two merged models.

You saying that need to merge the models and have to implement control logic.Do i need to merge the client main.c and server main.c files?

The mesh specifications gives you more info on control models. There, they give an example of a cooling pump that circulates coolant in a fridge for example. The control logic would take a temperature value & according to that value, you either turn the pump on or off. For this use case, you could make some control logic to control when to turn the server or client leds on for example.

modified some code in node_setup.c for that issue. could you give some idea for control logic to act as server and client model at same time

Great to hear! I believe you will require some control logic to make it a proper control model. What was the fix to your issue?

I have rectified the error opcode status field:2. Now i can able to run client and server model (merged) in single element with meh sdk v2.1.1 for simple on/off model.Is control logic mandatory for control model?

i'm trying to make simple on/off model without instance. In single element i have to provision client and server. By doing this previous i got Invalid Model status error, but now i'm getting status error as 0x01 (Invalid Address). Client gets bind but the opcode model app status becomes 1 instead of 0.Can you give any suggestion for that. I just merged simple on/off client and simple on/off server model. No changes have been made. I have not upgraded to latest version.

What changes have you made so that you did not receive any error with the newly merged model? Have you upgraded to mesh sdk v2.2.0? You could try looking at the generic on off server & client models.

Sash — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 11:15:09 GMT

while debugging the error not occurs on newly merged model. can you tell me which model can i refer in mesh sdk v2.2.0

You will still need to add control functionality to your model though. You cannot just merge the client & server models and expect it to work. Unfortunately we do not have an example for a control model, but we do have a few more defined models in mesh sdk v2.2.0. Maybe it could help to take a look at those models?

RE: How to configure a node for control model?

Opcode status field 2 means INVALID MODEL. which means model merged (client & server) is not supported. While debugging the opcode model app status in node_setup.c gets failed.
