nRF Mesh allows you to easily deploy nodes to any Bluetooth Mesh compatible Nodes, giving you flexibility to deploy many different Mesh network Setups. Features: • Identifying: Identify a node before provisioning it. • Provisioning: Deployment of a new Node is as simple as a press of a button. All Out-Of-Band (OOB) methods are supported. • Remote Provisioning: Allows provisioning Nodes that are too faw to reach them directly. • Configuration: Create Network and Application keys or use the randomly generated ones, subscribe to groups and setup your nodes for publishing. • Node Control: Control nodes with Generic OnOff Server, Generic Level Server, Generic OnPowerUp Server, Scene Server and many other models. • Device Firmware Update: Quickly send a new firmware to the Distributor and observe it slowly distributing it to all the nodes. Additionally, you may also run the following configuration commands on your network: • Fully control node publication data. All publication parameters are configurable. • Add/Remove one or more subscription addresses on a model. • Create own AppKeys, or generate them using the builtin crypto-safe generator. • Bind/unbind an Application Key to a specific model for full granular control of your networks' security. • Explore the nodes' capabilities to view all elements, models, provisioning time and date, Manufacturer and available vendor data. • Set the Default TTL on a per-node basis. • Manage global AppKey list on a node. • And much more... Hardware support: - This version of the app is capable of communicating with any BLE devices that speak Bluetooth Mesh! - We recommend nRF5 devices with our nRF SDK for Mesh or nRF Connect SDK.

The Häfele Connect Mesh Auto-Setup App allows installers to easily set-up Häfele Connect Mesh networks using pre-developed templates. Installers simply open the Auto-Setup App and scan the QR code that came with the installation to download the custom template. The Auto-Setup App will automatically begin configuring the Häfele Connect Mesh devices with the settings that were pre-defined in the network template.  Throughout the process, the Installer is guided through a simple, easy to-follow process for configuring each of the devices that will be used in the network.  As each device is added, Installers can easily test the functionalities of the network.  Once the installation is complete, the Auto-Setup App will automatically store the new network in the Häfele Connect Cloud so it can be easily accessed at a later time by the homeowner.  Homeowners can use the same QR code to import their network to the Häfele Connect Mesh App on their personal mobile devices. The Häfele Connect Mesh App gives homeowners the ability to control the lights with their mobile device , or modify the network settings for groups and scenes.
