The only Android application we have for mesh is the nRF Mesh app, where you can provision, configure and control mesh networks. You can read more about evaluating examples with the nRF Mesh app here.
The project "experimental_dimming" which is present inside examples of "nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v3.2.0" is working on Development kit (PCA10040) by connecting DK with nRF mesh App.
Further somehow, I am trying to include the same functionality(coding) of dimming into "thingy52-mesh-provisioning-demo-master" to test dimming functionality on Nordic Thingy-52 (PCA20020). But I am facing lots of errors. So is it possible what I am trying to attempt? If yes, then what is the correct way to implement the requirement? Please help me out.
Could you please share what your setup is and what errors you're getting.
I assume you're following the guide here. Did you get the example to work before adding functionality for dimming?
It's possible to dim the LED on Thingy:52. You can test this out yourself with the Nordic Thingy app, which you can download on your phone. If you connect to your Thingy with that app and go to UI, there's an option to change the LED intensity, so it's possible to implement code to do this with other devices besides a phone and the Thingy app. However, functionality from the nRF5 SDK won't necessarily work out of the box on the Thingy. The firmware for Thingy is built on top of the nRF5 SDK, but it has some added modules that handles functionalities related to the Thingy. You should take a look at the firmware architecture for the Thingy:52, especially the part about user interface services, which handles the onboard LEDs, buttons etc. There you can get information about the LED characteristic. You will have to use this characteristic to figure out what to send to the Thingy in order to dim the light.
