How to send some custom data over ble mesh from Mobile to Device(nRF52832)

I want send data from Mobile over established BLE Mesh Network (through Proxy node to all nodes in the network) and also get data from BLE Mesh Network.

Data is customised information which is of 4 or 2 bytes.

Please explain me the implementation methodology.

Part Number: nRF52832

Board Number : PCA10040

Thanks in Advance

  • Hi. 

    How far into the development are you?

    We do have the nRF Mesh mobile application that is open source and available on GitHub. You can either use that as a template for your own application, or test it using one of our examples from the nRF5 SDK for Mesh. 

    As a start, it might be a good idea to start out with one of the examples from the SDK, provision and configure them using the nRF Mesh app, and send some commands. I would suggest looking at the Light switch examples.

    Once you have an understanding of how it works, you can implement your own model to transfer your data. (There is a section in our online documentation explaining how to create a custom model). And use that to transfer data to your mobile application.
