Provisioning as a Server

[innominata]

Can I get suggestions on how to implement the following topology with respect to provisioning:

There are a series of lights and each of them is connected to a central light which should act as a provisioner. The lights (including I assume the central light) are servers. The clients would be apps on phones or tablets that would enter the network through remote provisioning and control the lights. The network would not necessarily begin with any clients provisioned but the clients would join through some peripheral node of the light server network.

Is this the best type of topology to have for this use case?

If it is an adequate topology for this use case, how would I make the remote provisioner a server instead of the client that it is in the remote provisioning example?

Hi.

You will deside for yourself how the topology of the network will look like. I don't see a problem with the one that you described.
As for the provisioner, that can be a dedicated provisioner node or you can add a server model to the provisioner node.

Note that the provisioner will require some memory, so if you are using an nRF5 chip as a provisioner for a large network the memory available on the nRF might not be sufficient.
That is why I would in general suggest that the provisioner is a cell phone etc.
