Hi Brian,

Thank you for that information.It's good to know. 

Do you have any expected timeline like when this could 
be pushed out.

Thanks

We are in the process of coding the Management1 D-Bus interface which includes many of the method calls required for Provisioner support.  The test-mesh python script does *not* work with the meshctl tool, which uses a GATT based architecture.

The D-Bus interface (as described in the doc/mesh-api.txt) works with the bluetooth-meshd daemon which is currently being built out, and it is entirely built on Advertisement (non-GATT) based communication with other nodes.

The methods required for the Provisioner side are not quite ready to be pushed out.
