Bluetooth Mesh Android Application

Hello I am currently working with the android application that Nordic provides for the generic on off example for lights using bluetooth mesh.
Everything goes fine , I have provisioned and created my mesh network using the application.My question can be a bit generic but maybe even some small hints might help me.How can I access this mesh network in an other phone or lets assume that the users will lose their phone where their mesh network is created and saved, how can they access this network from an other phone that has the same provisioning app?

Thank You.

  • Hi! 

    Our libraries and sample apps for Android and iOS now support multiple provisioners, net and app keys. But we only support provisioner mode for phones. That means, that you may export whole network configuration from one phone and import on another. Before exporting, you have to create number of provisioner objects, each gets it's own range for unicast addresses, group addresses and scenes. After importing, the other user has to select a different provisioner, which means that the other user's phone may provision new devices without conflicts.

    A provisioner may (and usually will) have also a unicast address (will be a node), otherwise it can't preform configuration of the newly provisioned nodes. An address is given to the provisioner upon creation. It should not change it, but can, for any address from it's own range.

    Best regards,
