is it possible to add client and server functionality on the same nRF52 DK Mesh network LightSwitch Example?

Hi,

I am using nrf52 DK with BLE mesh Light-Switch Example. I was looking for changing behavior of the client/server.  Is it possible to have both Client and server functionality in the same board.

I am attaching the mesh network design I'm looking to implement. Please let me know if this is doable.

Hi Pavan, 

Yes you can have both server, client of the same model on one node, but they need to be on different elements. 

You can have a look at and example here. 

However, for your application, do you really need server and client on Switch 1 & 2 ? You can always control Light1&2 and light 3&4 directly from the Main Switch by just let them subscribe to Group Switch 1 and Group Switch 2. You don't really need to implement a server on Switch 1 and Switch 2
