Hi,

Yes, the two methods can coexist, both for provisioner and provisionee. For details regarding remote provisioning, see Remote provisioning (PB-remote).

Hi,

Please note that remote provisioning is a proprietary extension to Bluetooth mesh, using a custom provisioning bearer (PB-MESH). The current Bluetooth mesh specification has two provisioning bearers, that both require direct communication: Using BLE advertisements (PB-ADV) or a BLE connection (PB-GATT).

PB-MESH should work on any Bluetooth mesh network, as long as the provisioner (from which you control the provisioning) and the remote provisioner (the node with direct link to the device to be provisioned into the network) each has the required PB-MESH support.

Terje

Hi,

You would have to update both your provisioner and your target nodes. The servers basically act as relays for provisioning data, enabling you to reach nodes that are not within direct range of your provisioner.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. its seems to be what I'm searching for. that

But I have one question :

There is a pb_remote server and client, that Its meen that I need to change my node firmware and my provisioner or can I only change the provisioner ?

Hi,

I believe you would require a remote provisioner given your setup.

Have a look at:

Remote provisioning example

Hope this helps.
