Is it mandetory to use the Health model for Bluetooth Mesh applications?

[SørenHN]

In the Light Switching example the Health model is used, but is it mandatory to used this model for Bluetooth Mesh applications or I can choose not to use it if i don't deem it necessary?

Hi Søren,

According to the Bluetooth Mesh Profile v1.0 specification it is mandatory to support at least one instance on the root element of the Health model in Bluetooth Mesh. However, you don't need to configure it to publish periodically like we do in the example.

Best,
Thomas
