BLE mesh - Send message from Provisioner to a specific node

[believer]

Hi,

Can we send a message from a Provisioner to a Unicast address in a mesh network?

I'm using nrf52832 and can send orreceive message between nodes in the mesh but I do not know if the provisioner can send a message to a specific node.

Hope to get response!!

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

It's possible to send a message from a device that i acting as the provisioner. I don't know much about your application though, so I can't say if you should be able to.

Are you using the static provisioner example from our nRF5 SDK for Mesh? In that case you won't be able to send a message with the native example.

What kind of message are you looking to send?

Hi,

Please see the link: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/59231/ble-mesh-for-leds-only

I want to set order for each node in the mesh through Android App. If I can do so, it's will be easier to implement my algorithm.

Thanks.

Still not sure what kind of message you are looking to send from the provisioner.
When mention the Android app, are you then talking about our nRF Mesh app and using that as the provisioner?

You could base your application on our light switch examples. And you can solve this by configuring the nodes to send and on/off message to the unicast address of the desired node on the event of a touch sensor. This process can be repeated over and over again if you don't the sequence to be randomized. You can use the Android app to configure the nodes with regards to which node it should publish messages to and what addresses to subscribe to.
