Create custom database

[Sanflame]

Hi,

 I want to create a custom database in the mesh light switch client node.

Is there any example to create a custom database in the nRF SDK?

Thanks

Hi,

I do not quite understand what you mean. Can you please explain a bit more about this custom database that you want? Is it directly related to Bluetooth mesh, or is it for storing general data needed for your application?

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

What we are trying to do here is to control several server nodes from one client(multiple client elements). Here our client maintains the record of which client element will respond to which server and this can be changed according to the user. The client on receiving a response from one server can automatically update other servers after checking it in the database. We also tried grouping but that was not feasible for our project.

Thanks

Hi,

Did you find a solution?

Since you have shared very little detail about your use case it is difficult to propose any solution within the mechanisms of Bluetooth mesh.

In general I would strongly recommend to use the mechanisms already in Bluetooth mesh the way they are intended to be used. That means using a configuration server for configuring the network, and providing access to the configuration server for any users that are in need of reconfiguring the network. Note that this will grant the users an admin role for the nodes that need such configuring.

You could look into automating configuration servers, or in some way make the reconfiguration easier to the end users. Apart from that, the best setup is usually one that do not need to get reconfigured on the fly.
