Building a Sensor-Driven Lighting Control System Based on Bluetooth Mesh

2020-11-23
Bluetooth mesh networking technology allows for building flexible,smart lighting networks that use sensors to drive efficiencies.One of its specifications—the Bluetooth Mesh Model Specification[1]—specifiesseveralmesh models defining basic functionalities of network nodes. This white paper explains which mesh models to use in different types of lighting and sensor devices. Italso describeshow these devices can be set up to operate in concert and to form adaptive, highly efficient,connected lighting networks.
This white paper illustrates how toset up anadaptive lighting system using the Bluetooth mesh networking technology. The paper first explains how to build individual devices that havemesh connectivity,starting with the most basic concepts and progressing to more sophisticatedarrangementsthat introducespecific functionalities into individual network nodes via mesh models.Whenall the necessary components are in place, a complex sensor-driven lighting systemcan then be built.
By defining basic functionalities of network nodes, mesh modelsaddress the problem of interoperability at the application level. A model defines the basic functionality of a node. Server modelsdefine states, supported messages,and state transition behavior. Client modelsdefine a set of messages that a client can use to communicate with a server. A control modelmay also contain control logic to coordinate interactions between other models. Foundation modelsdefine the access layer states, messages, and models required to configure and manage a mesh network. Toincreasedesign flexibility, models include multiple properties that can be adjusted in accordance with specific applications. Simple devices mayrely on very few models, but more complex devicesneed to employ many models—including certain models thatrequire that othermodels be instantiated within the same node; this is known as model extending.
