Our application is based on
RS485 bus
need to replace that with wireless.
bluetooth mesh seems similar and most suitable.
please advise and let us know how easy or difficult it will be.
we are new to cypress products/ tools/ble mesh
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
On a high level perspective, I would say, "Yes it is possible".
But, Bluetooth mesh is designed for very low data rate operations, used in some scenarios like switch on / off a bulb, read temperature sensor data, etc. Typically it has around 2500 bps data rate.
What is your application requirement? Where it is current used?
Some useful links to understand the Bluetooth mesh are given below. Please go through it..

Dear Dheeraj,
Thank you for your prompt positive response.
yes it is for lighting control and data is not very frequent and speed requirement is not there.
is it easy to implement or is there a ready example code so that it can be done without bluetooth background

Hi,
On the go you may need to acquire few Bluetooth Low Energy and Mesh networking specification knowledge in the implementation stage.
For a quick start you can use an227069-getting-started-bluetooth-mesh document. By the end of this application note, you will be able to develop your own Mesh-enabled products using Cypress’ certified module or silicon solution.
Please check the ble_mesh page in our Cypress website https://www.cypress.com/products/ble-mesh to get complete information. Mesh Supported products, Documents, Kits and modules, etc. are properly documented in this page.
All the code examples are listed in the cypress Github site.
