And even then, provisioning one device at a time would be fast, picking one by one from unprovisioned dev beacons. I’d just like to echo Inga’s discouragements regarding the security risks of Bulk un-manned “Just Works” style provisioning, but also to add that no, multiple provisioning “sessions” are not currently supported, and I do not see them as something we plan on supporting. > > Regards, > Inga > >> On Thu, 2020-05-28 at 19:02 +0800, Jiaquan He wrote: >> Hi All, >> >> I’m working on a bluetooth mesh node provisioner based on BlueZ 5.54, and expecting to provision a bunch of devices (mesh nodes). >> >> I’m just simply calling org.bluez.mesh.Management1.AddNode multiple times, but it seems that we can have only one prov-initiator at a time. >> >> So is there any way to have multiple provisioning sessions at the same time?
