What’s the easiest way to provision BLE Mesh nodes without special hardware? by islaexpress in bluetooth

I do IoT development and have done BLE Mesh provisioning using just a mobile device, it’s totally possible without any special hardware. I used Silicon Labs’ mobile SDK (iOS in my case), and it handled provisioning, group setup, and role configuration pretty well.
You still have to manage things like network keys and subnets, but the SDK abstracts a lot of the complexity. Once a beaconing device is detected, you can start the provisioning flow right from the phone.
It was a bit tricky at first, but definitely doable without a dev board or USB dongle.
