Connect NRF52-DK and thingy52 to mesh network.

[twar]

Hello.

I have one of these dk and one thingy52 and I would like to connect them to mesh network, I read somewhere that I can use my phone as provisioner so is it possible to achieve this and what kind of software do I need for this to work? Does any of existing examples will do?

Best regards.

Hi,

You can use the nRF Mesh on either Android or iOS to provision the devices. You can have a look here under "Provisioning with nRF Mesh app" to get more information on how you can use the app. As for firmware, you can find a demo for the Thingy:52 here. For the nRF52-DK, you should check out our Mesh SDK here, have a look at the light switch proxy examples.

Hi.

Thank you for your answer.

A few more questions because as far as I remember I've tried some of above and it did not work at all.

which one exactly should I flash the board? There are these two: proxy_client and proxy_server?

Do I need phone with bluetooth 5.0 to this to work?, because last time I've tried this app it did not find any device during scan process but maybe I flashed both device with wrong hex files.

Thank you and best regards.
