RE: (nRFMesh IoS Application Version 2.2.3) Send mesh message to Group address

Hello,

It is possible, yes. The nRF Mesh sample app for iOS supports only Generic On Off Server and Generic Level Server models in the Groups tab. You need to have at least one such Model on any of the Elements on any Node in your network subscribed to this group to make it visible. This is because the app needs to know which Application Key can be used to send this message.

Using the Network tab:

Go to any of your Nodes that has any of the mentioned Models (can also be the local Node - your phone, as it has those models implemented in the sample app),
Make sure at least one Application Key is added to this Node,
Navigate to the Model and make sure at least one Application Key is bound to this Model.
Subscribe the Model to the Group.

Then, go to Groups tab and select the Group. Controls to send On/Off or Level Up/Down will show up.

The nRF Mesh sample app does not support any other models on the Group tab (including vendor models).
