Light Switch example - indirect provisioning problem

[cezzarez]

Hello everybody,
I've got some of nodes for the light switch example. I'm working on nRF52832 chips. I tried to find answear for my questions, but i didn't.

I want to create a network, where one node see only another one node in network. So it looks like:
Client see only 1 server, 1 server see client and 2 server, 2 server see 1 server and 3 server...

As I read in documentation, all nodes should works like a relays. But if this network exist, I can see that client provision only 1 server which is directly in the client range. Others server do not provision. Can somebody explain me why?

Is it a possibility to change code for this feature?

Regards

Hello,

The problem is that if the node is not provisioned, it doesn't have the network keys, so it wouldn't know how to talk to the other nodes in the network, and they will not recognize the messages as valid messages for the network, and they will not be relayed.

However, it is possible to set up remote provisioners, which will scan for the beaconing signals from the nodes that wants to join the network. You can check out the example description here.

Best regards,
