Mesh App Provisioner + Client

[julian.demicoli]

Hello everyone, 

I want to develop an android app, which is able to control multiple LED Lamps in a Mesh Network. 

There is an app for provisioning provided by Nordic. Is it possible, to also set this app up both as a client and a provisioner, so I can at first provision my devices and afterwards send messages to the servers from the app, to control the lighting? 

Best regards

Hi,

The nRF Mesh supports controlling GenericOnOff models. So you should be able to turn on/off a LED on the DK. 

Have a look at this, it is for iOS but I think it should be the same with the Android app.

Hi! I am trying to provision the dev boards but the light switch uses simple_on_off model and the app uses generic... The example that comes with the provisioning app is for thingy, so thats not so useful... can I ask if you know where I could find the firmware for the dev boards that use generic on off? or how to modify the sample from the sdk for mesh?

I think I manage to modify the client but I am stuck with the server... :(

Hello technical, sorry for my late answer. 

- In the simple_on_off_common.h you have to change the opcodes to: 

typedef enum
{
    SIMPLE_ON_OFF_OPCODE_SET = 0x8202,            /**< Simple OnOff Acknowledged Set. */
    SIMPLE_ON_OFF_OPCODE_GET = 0x8201,            /**< Simple OnOff Get. */
    SIMPLE_ON_OFF_OPCODE_SET_UNRELIABLE = 0x8203, /**< Simple OnOff Set Unreliable. */
    SIMPLE_ON_OFF_OPCODE_STATUS = 0x8204          /**< Simple OnOff Status. */
} simple_on_off_opcode_t;

- I also changed the ACCESS_COMPANY_ID_NORDIC in access.h 

#define ACCESS_COMPANY_ID_NORDIC (0xFFFF)

(It was just for testing purposes, you shouldn't change the nordic ID to the generic ID) 

--> you could also change the #define SIMPLE_ON_OFF_COMPANY_ID   0xFFFF 

- Last but not least you have to change the simple_on_off_server_model_id in simple_on_off_server.h

#define SIMPLE_ON_OFF_SERVER_MODEL_ID (0x1000)
