 I am using: 
 1. Mesh sdk V5.00 
 2. BLE sdk V17 
 3. NRF52840 
 I am trying to build a node with many elements and models. The software is based on the LC server. Currently the maximum number of LC servers I can create is 6. This will result</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 19 Oct 2021 08:32:34 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/80815/maximum-number-of-models" /><item><title>RE: Maximum number of models</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/334781?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Oct 2021 08:32:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3260cb69-de79-4b6f-b849-2eb24603472e</guid><dc:creator>Chris_Dev</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Terje,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the quick answer, I appreciate it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using group addresses sounds like a nice solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to the &lt;a href="https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/?keyword=Mesh"&gt;Mesh Profile specification v1.0.1&lt;/a&gt;, only Composition Data Page 0 is defined and other pages are reserved for future use (see section 4.2.1 Composition Data.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In other words: This is currently a limitation in the specification. Additional pages containing element descriptions may or may not be part of a future release of the specification.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ways to work around this limitation include the use of group addresses (i.e. controlling groups of lights instead of individual bulbs), or in the typical use case of a gateway to reuse the same model for publishing to different addresses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Terje&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
