Hello, SET.

[quote userid="85665" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/55410/ble-mesh-connection-from-different-devices/225576#225576"]I could successfully achieve both, but I have still an open question.[/quote]

Proxy to one smartphone connection is working.

However, I'm wondering that Sending from one proxy(node) to many smartphone is possible!

If there are three boards(nRF52840-DK), three smartphones are updated.

But I want many boards(more than three) update with just three boards.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Minsu Kim.

Hello, SET.

I saw your reply.

If you're okay, could you let me know the way how to implement multicast? (proxy to smartphones)

I did 'export and import', so the control from each smartphone is possible.

However, I want to send data from proxy server to many smartphones.

Sincerely yours,

Minsu Kim

What I would suggest is a way to back up the network json to a server and do frequent updates back and forth in your app. You can use some kind of push mechanism to notify the other phones whenever there is an update so that other phones can download the updated json file.

What I would like to achieve is to connect into the mesh network from different phones and all phones need to be up to date about the network members. Can I somehow read out a network table of all the available devices?

Hi what do you mean? what kind of information are you thinking about here and what are you trying to achieve by doing this?

Thank you, I could successfully achieve both, but I have still an open question. Can I somehow achieve to get the network information from the mesh network alone without exporting and importing the network?

Thank you for your answers. Can you tell me how many proxy connections are theoretically possible for one node? So can I attach 10 smarthphones to 1 proxy node?

1. By exporting and importing a network from one phone to another you can solve this. After importing the network on the second phone make sure you change the address to a different one than the original phone. As long as you have both phones connected to a proxy/proxies you can control the lilght from both phones.

2. Currently the example supports only one proxy connection. I guess you will have to implement this feature yourself.

Hope this helps.
