Hi,
I have the following application in mind: I want to create a bluetooth mesh network, in which one node will broadcast sensor readings, some nodes will be used to hop the data (relay nodes) to expand the coverage of the network, and one node will be used as a gateway to collect the broadcast data and transmit it to another network.
I have read the Creating custom models document, but I'm not sure how to program the relay nodes, as in how to program them so that they actively scan for packets and when they receive, they understand that it's not meant for them but for a different address node, then eventually sending it to other nodes in the network. Please guide me on this.
If I wish to use android application to get the nodes provisioned in the network, what code should be implemented in the node to provide such functionality as I didn't find any relevant section in Creating custom models.
Also, Online Power Profiler has different roles in BLE settings (Advertising, Advertising (non-con/scan), Connection (Peripheral), Connection (Central)), are these modes relevant to Bluetooth mesh? If yes then according to the application that I described above, can you explain which nodes will be in which modes?
Thanks & Regards,
Shyam Joshi
