Zigbee, matter and bluetooth/mesh Light switch samples all use light_switch as their application

[Danny Wahlquist]

It appears that zigbee, matter and bluetooth/mesh Light switch samples all use light_switch as their application in NRF Connect for VSCode. Is there a way to build and support all three?

Hi Danny, 

Even though they have the same light_switch name , they have totally different profile specification and different protocol/technology. 

If you want to support multiple technologies you may combine them on your own. But I don't see much point of combining as you can't really do two mesh technology at the same time and the size of the stack to support all protocol stacks will be pretty large. 

We do have some example of doing for example Bluetooth and Zigbee, matter and Bluetooth  (not bluetooth mesh) but not two mesh technology together.

Thanks! Fould that if I go to Explorer and right click application folder and select Nrf connect add folder as application, it adds the application with folder preceding like mesh/light_switch, matter/light_switch and zigbee/light_switch and allows me to create builds for each!.

Hi Danny, 
I would suggest to go to Visual studio code and click "Create a new application" then you can select the sample you want to clone from. 
It's a better way than add folder as application. So that you can clone your application and can modify it without affecting the original sample.
