That's great. Actually, I was working with the iOS-nRF-Mesh-Library Version 1.0.4, in that version there was no possiblity to do this. I have downloaded the new version of iOS-nRF-Mesh-Library 2.0.0 today and now I can see that option there. Now I am able to control the LED of server node from App. Thank you.

Hi.

[quote user="As_Dev"]But how to control the OnOffServer model in the node from the App. How to turn the LED on or off from the App?[/quote]

This can be done by going to the Light switch server in the app -> Generic OnOff Server -> Toggling the GenericOnOff state (see picture below).

First of all, thank you Joakim for replying my question.

I saw that video before. The video shows how to provision a node and configure the models in the elements present in the provisioned node and also assigning application key to the different models.

But how to control the OnOffServer model in the node from the App. How to turn the LED on or off from the App?

How to publish from the App?

Is there any way to do that?

This should already be available in our nRF Mesh app for iOS. If you take a look at the blog-post below, you can see how to provision and control the devices in the Mesh network using your smartphone.
