It is right.

we hope add two client models into sever model to implement a control model on the same node.

After adding enough elements to the node in the "nrf_mesh_conf_app.h", we can the "run mesh_init()" function successfully.

The "nrf_mesh_conf_app.h" was modified as the following.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//#define ACCESS_MODEL_COUNT (/* Element 0: */ \
// 1 + /* Config Server */ \
// 1 + /* Health Server */ \
// 1 + /* Generic OnOff Server */ \
// 1 + /* Default Transition Time Server */ \
// 1 + /* Scene Server */ \
// 1 /* Scene Setup Server (extends Scene Server) */)

#if 1
//2021.0916 .....add Generic OnOff client model ......
#define ACCESS_MODEL_COUNT (/* Element 0: */ \
1 + /* Config Server */ \
1 + /* Health Server */ \
1 + /* Generic OnOff Server */ \
1 + /* Default Transition Time Server */ \
1 + /* Scene Server */ \
1 + /* Scene Setup Server (extends Scene Server) */ \
2 /* Generic OnOff client (2 groups) */)
#endif
/**
* The number of elements in the application.
*
* @warning If the application is to support _multiple instances_ of the _same_ model, these instances
* cannot be in the same element and a separate element is needed for each new instance of the same model.
*/
//2021.0916 ......update element count .....
//#define ACCESS_ELEMENT_COUNT (1)
#define ACCESS_ELEMENT_COUNT (3)

//#define ACCESS_ELEMENT_COUNT (1 + CLIENT_MODEL_INSTANCE_COUNT) /* One element per Generic OnOff client instance */

Then we ran the "BLE Mesh APP" to add a node in the cell phone and found the elements of "Generic_on_off_client" had been add into the node as below.

Hi,

Just to clarify, you want two client models on the same node?

I suspect that not enough elements have been added to the node so when you try to initiate the model in the inputted element index it will return invalid element index. Can you check that you also have added the correct amount of elements to the node?

Note that if you want multiple instances of the same model, these instances cannot be in the same element and a separate element is needed for each new instance of the same model.

Dear Mttrinh:

Thanks your support.

We integrated the following codes of light_sw_client to light_sw_sever in models_init_cb function.

In debug procedure, we found that the element_index is 1 and 2 in the "generic_onoff_client_init"; and the element_index is 1 in "generic_onoff_server_init".

Best Regards,

Hi,

Getting Mesh error 5 (NRF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND) from generic_onoff_client_init() function means invalid access element index. Can you check that the element index is correct?
