XTGateway vs Bluetooth mesh by Silicon Labs

A IoT gateway is a crucial device that connects Bluetooth devices to the Internet. It can convert data from Bluetooth devices into Internet protocols, enabling remote control and data analysis of devices. It is widely used in smart homes, healthcare, industrial automation, and other fields, providing users with more convenient and intelligent living and working experiences.

This application implements Bluetooth mesh networking for the iOS operating system. The Bluetooth Mesh by Silicon Labs application can be used to provision Bluetooth mesh capable devices and add them as nodes into a Bluetooth mesh network. The application also supports the configuration of the mesh models, publish and subscribe settings as well grouping of nodes. The application also implements light and lightness models for Bluetooth mesh, so it can be used to control Bluetooth mesh nodes which implement the same models. The application implements the Bluetooth mesh networking stack from the GATT bearer and up all the way to the mesh model layer. The native Bluetooth stack on iOS is used to open LE GATT connections to Bluetooth mesh nodes with a proxy feature enabled.
