Generic Property Client

The Generic Property Client model can access properties from a Property Server remotely. The Property Client can talk directly to all types of Property Servers, but only if it shares an application key with the target server.

Generally, the Property Client should only target User Property Servers, unless it is part of a network administrator node that is responsible for configuring the other mesh nodes.

To ease the configuration, the Property Client can be paired with a Client Property Server that lists which properties this Property Client will request.

Extended models

None.

Shell commands

The Bluetooth Mesh shell subsystem provides a set of commands to interact with the Generic Property Client model instantiated on a device.

To make these commands available, enable the following Kconfig options:

mesh models prop instance get-all

Print all instances of the Generic Property Client model on the device.

mesh models prop instance set <ElemIdx>

Select the Generic Property Client model instantiated on the specified element ID. This instance will be used in message sending. If no model instance is selected, the first model instance found on the device will be used by default.

  • ElemIdx - Element index where the model instance is found.

mesh models prop cli-props-get <ID>

Get the list of Generic Client Properties of the bound server.

  • ID - A starting Client Property ID present within an element.

mesh models prop props-get <Kind>

  • Kind - Kind of Property Server to query. Allowed values:
    • 0 - Manufacturer Property Server.

    • 1 - Admin Property Server.

    • 2 - User Property Server.

mesh models prop prop-get <Kind> <ID>

Get the value of a property of a server.

  • Kind - Kind of Property Server to query. Allowed values:
    • 0 - Manufacturer Property Server.

    • 1 - Admin Property Server.
