It is required to track/locate the position of a bluetooth mesh node. I found that RSSI value can be used to estimate the distance between receiver node and a target node. This distance estimate could be used by trilateration method using three nodes (whose positions and distances to target node are already known) to calculate the position of target node.
I want to implement light switch example using simple on/off model to send and receive sensor data and to locate the position of a particular node in a bluetooth mesh network. Is it possible to measure RSSI of other nodes (where nRF52 DK boards are configured as mesh nodes) in a bluetooth mesh network ?
Moreover, is it possible to receive sensor data somehow on the nRF Mesh app ? I came to know that nRF Mesh app only works with generic on/off model but is it possible to use it it with simple on/off model because I want to send sensor data and RSSI measurements from all nodes to smartphone and then perform trilateration algorithm for indoor localization.
