Integrate serial and light_switch client example

[suhas]

Hi,

We want to subscribe the provisioner in the serial example to any state changes of light_switch server. The light_switch server will publish this to a specific group. How do we subscribe the provisioner to that group? Is this possible, if not do we need to integrate the light_switch client into the provisioner? If so, how do we proceed with this?

Regards,

Hello,

It should be possible. Please check out the addr_subscription_add command.

Best regards,

But I am a bit confused. The servers doesn't publish much by default. Do you mean that you want to subscribe to the messages that the light_switch\client publishes? The light_switch\server typically only listens to the messages from the client.

This is also a page that has some information in the very end on how to add subscriptions and publications.

We are looking for the light_switch\client to subscribe to any state changes in the light_switch\server.

The challenge is that the light switches does not publish their new state, unless it is in a reply to the light switch that sent the original message.

What you can do is to make the light switch client also subscribe to the same channel, and it will get the same notification as the light switch servers get when another (?) light switch turns on or off the light.

BR,
