Hello, sorry for the waiting.
First, you have to configure the group addresses in each client (Select client -> second element -> Generic OnOff client -> Publish).
Then, configure the server that you choose to be connected with those addresses (Select server -> second element -> Generic OnOff server -> Subscribe).
You must put one of the same addresses that you choose on clients configuration. A server can work with more than one group address, you have to configure all manually the first time with the first device.

I want to know whether the light linked both to the kitchen and the dining room shown in the first picture can be controlled by two different groups .i.e., did the same light subscribe to both the rooms.

If yes please help me out with the same. I am presently working on a similar home automation.

Regards

Don't worry about that.
I solved the problem "playing" a little with the Android App.
A server can be suscripted to different addresses of the same client, but the client has to has different elements that may be able to publish a different address.
Thank you for the support!

Hi again.

Sorry about the delay.

If you haven't made any progress on this I suggest that you take a look at the thread below and the answers from my colleague, Hung.

Hello Joakim, thank you for answer.
I understand what are you saying, but to do that, I need to know where the entire information a configuration of the nodes are saved, to reconfigure them and put different addresses.
Now, I´m using dynamic provisioning with "light_switch_provisioner.h" example in a nRF52 DK. How to rewrite the code to assign the servers to different addresses in the same client?
More important, how to put different addresses in only one client?

Hi.

[quote user=""]Can a server control the messages of two or more groups? (blue area)[/quote]

Yes, this is possible.

I think the easiest way to solve this, is by having the different server nodes subscribe to multiple publication addresses.
For example;
If we look at the first picture in your question. You can have the "Bedroom" nodes and the "Garden" garden nodes both subscribe to the same address.

Regards,
Joakim

Sorry, maybe I confused server and client devices in the second picture.
Only change server to client and clients to server, sorry.
