Correct - all 52840 .

Works fine so fine

I guess devices #1-4 are nRF52840.

Hi.

I want to do a similar kind of application. I want to use the same nRF52840 as a gateway and I also want to use BLE mesh. In your question, what are you using for Device #1, Device #2, Device #3 and Device #4?

I agree on this being a god use-case for a mesh network.

If you're familiar IPv6 + UDP networks then I'd suggest Open Thread, otherwise, BLE Mesh is a good fit and easier to set up.

We also have a Gateway example in our NCS SDK for the nRF91 DK where an nRF9160 gives cloud access to the on-board nRF52840.

Extending the range of the network by relaying data, is one of the main feature of a mesh network. I would recommend to read the Mesh Profil documentation. It's a good read and gives a good overview, of what is possible with mesh.

Thanks.

Although the devices does not need to exchange data with each other ? ( only relay )

To me it sounds like the prototype application for mesh.
