Run nRF Mesh on PC or Mac

Upgrade your experience. Try nRF Mesh, the fantastic Tools app from Nordic Semiconductor ASA, from the comfort of your laptop, PC, or Mac, only on BlueStacks.

About the App

nRF Mesh is a handy way to set up and manage Bluetooth Mesh networks from your phone. Whether you’re bringing a few lights online or wrangling a whole building’s worth of nodes, it keeps the process clear, fast, and flexible. Built by Nordic Semiconductor ASA, this Tools app gives you fine-grained control without burying you in complexity.

App Features

  • Fast provisioning: Add new nodes with a quick tap. Numeric OOB and static authentication are supported, and unicast addresses are assigned automatically—override them manually anytime if you prefer.

  • Model control: Test and toggle devices that use the Generic OnOff Server so you can verify behavior right from the app.

  • Keys and security: Create fresh Application Keys or use your own. Bind keys to specific models for precise, model-level security control across your network.

  • Groups and subscriptions: Organize devices into groups using group and subscription addresses. Add or remove subscriptions on a model as your setup evolves.

  • Publication settings: Set a model’s publication address to define where messages should be sent, keeping traffic tidy and predictable.

  • Detailed node insights: Tap into each node’s details—elements, models, vendor and manufacturer info, plus when it was provisioned—to understand exactly what’s on your mesh.

  • Per-node TTL: Adjust the Default TTL per device to fine-tune message reach and reliability.

  • Broad compatibility: Communicates with Bluetooth LE gear that implements Bluetooth Mesh and runs on Android 4.3 and up.

  • Nice on a bigger screen: Planning a large network? Running nRF Mesh on BlueStacks can make mapping and editing much easier.

Big screen. Bigger performance. Use BlueStacks on your PC or Mac to run your favorite apps.
