Networked Lighting Control profiles
Bluetooth® Networked Lighting Control (NLC) profiles are a set of device profiles built on top of the Bluetooth mesh protocol, specified by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) in the Bluetooth NLC profile specifications. The NLC profiles can be used to implement interoperable network controlled lighting setups, including sensors, light fixtures, energy monitoring, scene selectors and dimmer controls. Each of the profiles specifies a set of models and a set of performance parameters.
Enable the CONFIG_BT_MESH_NLC_PERF_CONF Kconfig option to set the required performance configurations for the NLC profiles.
When implementing the NLC Basic Lightness Controller profile individually or in conjunction with other NLC profiles, also enable the CONFIG_BT_MESH_NLC_PERF_LIGHTNESS_CTRL Kconfig option.
The nRF Connect SDK provides a demonstration of how to implement each of these profiles as part of the Bluetooth samples. An overview of the NLC profiles and the samples supporting them is provided in a table below.
