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)

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... :(

Hey Julian,

Can I ask your help? I am stuck on this issue, the firmwares that comes with the provisioning app are for thingy, and I cant provision the light switch example from the SDK for Mesh for the nRF52 dev boards either... can I ask how did you manage to provision the dev boards with the app? which firmware you used? any chance to share the code? 🙂

Thanks!

Unfortunately, only GenericOnOff model is supported as of now. If you mean to implement your own model in the nRF Mesh, then no.

Thank you very much, it is working now.

Do you know if this is also implemented for other models + Are there any APIs/Documentation of the App to implement your own model?

Best regards

Hi,

You should be able to turn on the LED of the server with the app. Follow the guide in the link from the previous answer. You have to replace the SimpleOnOff model with the GenericOnOff model, then it will work.

Thank you for your answer,

I was able to provision two DKs using the Android App. One device has been configured as a Client and one as a Server. I can now control the LED of the Server DK by pressing a button on the Client DK.

My Question was if i could skip the Client and directly turn on the LED of the Server by using the Android app. Is it possible to configure an app to be both provisioner and client?

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.
