Bluetooth Mesh Chat Sample - Communication between NRF Mesh app (non-mesh BLE device) and Bluetooth Mesh nodes

[Sanju]

Hi

I could test Bluetooth Mesh Chat sample on nRF52833-DK nodes. I would like to know whether there is any way to send chat message from nRF Mesh app (non-mesh BLE device/system) to a mesh node via a Proxy node?

Thanks

Hi Sanjiv, 

The Chat client is not implemented in the nRF Mesh app so it woudn't work out of the box. But it should be possible to modify the app to add the chat client to it. The source code of the mesh app can be found here.

Hi Hung,

Thank you Hung! BTW, I also tested the Bluetooth Mesh Light (OnOff Server & Client) examples. I then referred the following ticket to resolve the problems encountered while testing the same with "nRF Mesh" app:
Sending message from mesh device to phone through proxy node

Please recommend a better reference guide/document for "nRF Mesh" app usage!

Thanks!

Hi Sanjiv, 

I afraid that you would need to study the code of the nRF Mesh app to know how to customize it for your needs. 

But what's exactly the issue you are having with the nRF Mesh app ?
