Controlling Bluetooth Mesh Networks with Swift Applications

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Shows how iOS apps inject and receive Bluetooth Mesh messages by connecting to a mesh proxy data in/out characteristic over CoreBluetooth, building proxy PDUs as uint8 arrays, and handling AES/AES‑CCM encryption and sequence numbers. Uses CBCentralManager/CBPeripheral, an open‑source crypto and big‑integer library, and a Raspberry Pi proxy + Zephyr microcontrollers. Demo controls 16 nodes (rows/columns/groups) successfully; full Swift and node code is on Bluetooth.com and GitHub.
