No, I don't think nRFMesh mobile apps has any feature to support heartbeat. You would need to implement on your own.

Thank you, Hung Bui. Are there methods/functions from the nRF Mesh mobile APIs? Or is this a thing I have to do it by myself? After that, I will try it and close this question.

Hi Matthew,

Unlike routed mesh, there is no routing table in mesh to create a topology graph as in Thread.

The provisioner wouldn't know which node is active if the nodes don't send heart beat message.

You can build a list of active node and the distance between nodes using heartbeat. Bluetooth Mesh spec define how the heart beat be sent, but what you want to do with it to detect how far nodes are from each other (based on RSSI) or to create an active list of node is upto the application.

We don't have an example on this.
