Hi PG,

I would suggest to first try to use the simple_on_off model in \models\vendor in a project. The model allow you to send one byte from the client to the sever to turn off or on the light.
If that works, you can start modifying the simple_on_off_msg_set_t or simple_on_off_msg_set_unreliable_t struct inside simple_on_off_common.h to add an array to the struct.
It's the string array you can send.
But please be aware that Bluetooth Mesh is not designed to send a large amount of data. Payload >11bytes will be segmented to multiple packages and that would cause quite a lot of over head, reducing the throughput of the network.
