Then we have performed mesh provisioning process from Android nrf mesh mobile app

yes, we have followed one document reference, and its as below:

Erase all before programming the Light Mesh example.

Programming 1-30 server(Light). 1 or more client(Switch).

1 provisioner. In this case, use nRF Mesh APP as provisioner

Use nRF Mesh link to Client. Press ID then provision

Elements-> Generic On Off client

Select bind key and input the publish address. In this case, Input 0xC000

Press APPLY after done.

Now connect to server and setup the ID,provision,Key as above. In the server. Please setup the Subscribe. The address is the same 0xC000 Please setup all the server you want to test.

Change to automatic toggle the LED for test radio distance(190124)

Above image is to show after provisioning we can see these device names...

Isn't that the exact opposite of what you said in the first sentence?[/quote]

We designed a customized controller board and embed a bt840E module to communicate over bluetooth using UART... And purchased a nrf52DK board..

What I meant to say here is We have used 3 devices, for mesh network devices,given different roles, i.e. 1 client node(DK Board - mesh switch) and 2 server nodes (BT840E modules(embed to controller boards) - mesh Light )

Now we want to check the internal communication between these 3 devices....

nrf52 DK board has 4 buttons and 4 LEDs... BT840E module has one LED connected to the GPIO pin same as LED1 on DK board..

According to Mesh set up,light switch example when we press a Button 1 from DK board(mesh switch in our case ) it should reflect to its other nodes BT840E modules(mesh light in our case) by turning ON the LED....

For testing:

1) case: When I try to check the communication log on to RTT viewer to understand what logs generated when any activity done on DK baord loaded with light mesh example code, DK board has usb interface so connected it with PC ... So when i press numeric key 0/1 from keyboard(PC keyboard) the DK board LED turns ON/OFF on DK board LED1...

2) case: Now we want to check what if we press Button 1 on DK board (As per light switch example when we press button 1 on dk board LED should be turned ON on BT840E module) what will happen on other nodes connected in mesh network.... but no activity observed on bt modules.... And here we observed that when we press Button 0/1 on DK board the RTT viewer shows the log that"Publication not configured for client 0" and "Publication not configured for client 1" respectively (with pc keyboard numeric key 0 and 1)..

Hi.

[quote user=""]Then we have performed mesh provisioning process from Android nrf mesh mobile app[/quote]

So the provisioning of the nodes works as expected?

[quote user=""]But we observed when we press 0 key from keyboard LED 1 on DK board turns on, And when we press 1 key on keyboard LED 1 turns off.. But nothing happens,no LED turns on/off, on server board(BT840E modules) when we press any Button 1,2,3,4 on client board(nRF52840 DK board)[/quote]

Maybe you could elaborate a little bit on this point?
You are saying that when pressing 0 key from keyboard LED 1 on DK board turns on. So the DK is running the light switch client example and when you press key 0 (What is key 0?) then LED 1 on the server turns on?

"But nothing happens,no LED turns on/off, on server board(BT840E modules) when we press any Button 1,2,3,4 on client board(nRF52840 DK board) ..."
Isn't that the exact opposite of what you said in the first sentence?
