I am looking to communicate with BLE devices that are part of the mesh network. I don't think this plugin does this task. if Yes can you guide me on this? if No can you propose any solution on this?

Hello @FarhanRiaaz

This plugin can do what you are looking for if all ble devices are indeed mesh nodes (ie. compliant with mesh n/w specs and part of the network as you say).

The steps are explained in the readme until connection to a proxy node. But once you are connected you can use NrfMeshPlugin.meshmanagerapi methods to send msg such as generic levels.
But if you want to send custom vendor msgs (ie. Not generic msgs), the plugin cannot do it as of now. There is another issue on that and I think you already found it 😇

I don't have much time to maintain these days, but you can open a PR, I can always review and merge changes that's easy on my phone with the github app 👍
