RE: editing light-switch server struct

Thanks Terje. I will try making 4 server models for 4 bool type data. I have some follow-up questions.

1) Which server model/struct do I edit to have integer data type in the server? Any other suggestion to implement integer data server?
2) Unrelated question- In Mesh beaconing example, I see that devices send their beacon (device name) in advertisement packets. I didn't see any "mesh" feature in the example. I assume we should add server/client models to the example code and use beaconing simultaneously. Is that the purpose of that mesh example?

Hi,

1) Yes, you can add Generic OnOff server models. The light switch examples uses only one Generic OnOff model on the server side (to mimic individual light bulbs), but the client side (representing switches) uses four client models. In the same manner you can have a device with four server models. If you use the Generic OnOff models, you will see that the server uses generic_onoff_server_init() which corresponds to generic_onoff_client_init() for the client.

2) You find Generic OnOff model documentation on Infocenter. The implementation is under <SDK root folder>/models/model_spec/generic_onoff/, but note that you should not modify our implementation of SIG specified models.

3) You should be able to implement what you need by adding four instances of the Generic OnOff server model and add/modify callbacks as appropriate, yes.

Regards,
Terje
