Yes, unfortunately you have to modify the app or make your own app to be able to send different messages.

Yes, that is correct.

But here is no way for me to test sending different messages unless I modify the nRF Mesh app.

BLE sniffer apps see the proxy node service characteristics and can connect, but sending causes a disconnect. I am assuming this is because the generic app doesn't know the application key, message format, etc. correct?

Hi,

I suggest you to use our nRF Mesh for Android/iOS to test the light switch example. You can provision, configure and control the node through the app.

Relevant documentation to have a look at:
