nRF Mesh > GATT Proxy > Manufacturer specific data (ble_advdata_manuf_data_t)

[Oleh]

Hi there,

I would like to add some extra data to mesh-nodes, when not provisioned -- with ble_advdata_manuf_data_t usage. What is the best way to do it and where?

And, in case I would like to add ble_advdata_manuf_data_t to GATT when proxy-enabled, where should it be placed?

Thank you!

Best, Oleh

Hi Oleh.

What kind of data is it that you want to add to the nodes before provisioning?

Do you want this data to be advertised as a beacon or similar before the node is provisioned?

Best regards,
Joakim

Hi Joakim,

in first place, I would like to add some info before the node is provisioned. To give scanner right description of the device.

the next step would be to add some info to provisioned device, when proxy is enabled. 

Trying as with ble didnt work, data are not available, guess mesh is overwriting these.

could you hint on where to start?

thanks!

Hi.

Sorry about the long delay here. Have you made any progress on your issue?

Regarding the unprovisioned node advertising, this is handled by the Mesh stack which is already qualified. If you want to make changes to that, you need to re-qualify the stack.

You could combine your application with a BLE application if you want to advertise some custom data.
We do have the co-exist examples in our nRF5 SDK for Mesh that you can take a look at, if you haven't already?

Best regards,
Joakim
