how to provision mesh beaconing example?Is provisioning needed for this(beaconing example )to listen to packets send by mesh network?

[JAGADEESH DADI]

Hi,

I am currently working with nrf52832 chip.i tried light-switch demo examples in mesh SDK v2.2.0.working fine.Now, my requirement is mentioned below

                                   A--->B----->C------>Desktop PC

Node A and B are flashed with light_proxy server.They both are provisioned by Mesh App on Android mobile.So,at this point  A and B form mesh network and they configured with relay functionality. Another thing is ,i flashed the Node  'C' with Beaconing example in Mesh SDK.

I have read that beaconing example had the capability to receive mesh packets from mesh network and advertise over the GAP to outside network.so i flashed it on node C.

my questions are:

1. how to make node C to listen to the mesh network(A and B).Need to provision?if yes,how?Mesh APP for Android is not recognizing Beaconing adv.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi.

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to acheive here.

If I understand you correctly, you want your node C (beaconing node), to receive packets from your Mesh network and then broadcast these packets unencrypted using BLE? And then you want our computer to pick up this broadcast?

It's not possible to use the nRF Mesh app to provision the example, no.
You could add the beaconing example to one of the light switch examples, and then use the light switch provisioning example.

Best regards,
Joakim.
