nRF52 DK Light CTL example

[John Smith]

I looked through the example projects provided in the nRF5 SDK for Mesh, and the only models ever used are generic on/off or generic level. Do you guys have an example which uses the Light CTL client/server Model of Bluetooth mesh? I've used other manufacturer's SDKs and they always include Light CTL client/server Model since it is one of the main Bluetooth Mesh models. I really want to use Nordic's chip solution, but I am concerned that I don't have the proper example projects to help me create a robust solution. 

I also noticed that the "experimental_dimming" example in the nRF5 SDK for Mesh includes the word "experimental" as if it is not ready to be used in the real world. Why do you label it as "experimental"?

Thanks and sorry for sounding a bit negative. I was just excited to use the Nordic solution to my Bluetooth Mesh needs, but I am a bit underwhelmed with the example projects.

Hi,

Unfortunately, we do not have any examples using the Light CTL client/server model at the moment. I would suggest you have a look at the documentation from our infocenter: Create new models and Simple OnOff model, it will show you how you how to create a new model and implement it into our examples from the SDK.

Experimental means that the examples and modules are ready for use, but are using features that are not of production level, have not been submitted for qualification or thoroughly tested, and their API can change.

What does "not been submitted for qualification" mean?

[Mttrinh]

It means that one or some features used in the example haven't been "Bluetooth Qualified" yet. Meaning they should only be used for development purposes and cannot be used in end products,

[John Smith]

How do I get something "Bluetooth Qualified"?

Have a look at this.

Start with "no required testing". Refer to Nordic's QDIDs.
