The lighting device of claim 1, wherein: the lighting device is a node in a mesh network, andthe processor when generating the standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to:insert an identification code of an addressee in the advertising packet, the identification code of an addressee indicating at least one other node in the mesh network as an intended recipient of the advertising packet. 3. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the processor when generating the standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to: insert a command instruction in a payload field of the generated advertising packet, the command instruction indicating an action to be taken by an intended recipient device of the advertising packet. 4. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the processor when generating the standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to: insert sensor data in a payload field of the generated advertising packet, the command instruction indicating an action to be taken by an intended recipient device of the advertising packet. 5. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the mesh specific sequence is fixed at an arbitrary value. 6. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the generated advertising packet further includes information related to one or more of identifying the packet itself, an intended recipient, commands, or data collected by sensors. 7. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the radio frequency transceiver is configured to: receive a standard compliant advertising packet broadcast by a mobile phone; andprovide a received signal strength indicator of the advertising packet received from the mobile device; andwherein the processor is configured to:estimate a position of the mobile device broadcasting the advertising packet based on the received signal strength indicator. 8. The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the standard compliant advertising packet comprises a flag byte field, the flag byte field including bits that indicate settings for one or more indicators. 9. The lighting device of claim 8, wherein the processor when generating the standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to: set a bit within the flag byte field to indicate that the addressee is a member of a group of nodes in the mesh network. 10. The lighting device of claim 8, wherein the processor when generating the standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to: set a bit within the flag byte field to indicate that the addressee is an individual node in the mesh network. 11. The lighting device of claim 8, wherein the processor when generating the standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to: set one or more bits within the flag byte field to indicate an identifier of a channel, the channel identifier enabling segregation of communication between one or more mesh networks. 12. A lighting device, comprising: a radio frequency transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals to and from one or more devices;a memory device storing data and programming instructions;a processor coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the processor, when executing the programming instructions, is configured to:generate a Bluetooth-standard compliant advertising packet, the generated advertising packet including a fixed mesh specific sequence and a lighting device identifier code, the fixed mesh specific sequence indicating that the advertising packet is associated with a mesh network and the lighting device identifier code indicating a source of the generated advertising packet; andoutput the generated advertising packet for broadcast via the Bluetooth standard-compatible transceiver. 13. The lighting device of claim 12, wherein: the lighting device is a node in a mesh network, andthe processor when generating the Bluetooth-standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to:insert an identification code of an addressee in the advertising packet, the identification code of an addressee indicating an intended recipient of the advertising packet. 14. The lighting device of claim 12, wherein the processor when generating the Bluetooth-standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to: insert a command in a payload field of the generated advertising packet, the command indicating an action to be taken by an intended recipient device of the advertising packet. 15. The lighting device of claim 12, wherein the radio frequency transceiver is configured to: receive Bluetooth-standard compliant advertising packets broadcast by a lighting device; andprovide a received signal strength indicator of the broadcasted advertising packets; andwherein the processor is configured to:inserting a representation of the received signal strength indicator into a payload field of the generated Bluetooth-standard compliant advertising packet. 16. The lighting device of claim 12, wherein the Bluetooth-standard compliant advertising packet comprises a flag byte field, the flag byte field including bits that indicate settings for one or more indicators. 17. The lighting device of claim 16, wherein the processor when generating the Bluetooth-standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to: set a bit within the flag byte field to indicate that the addressee is a member of a group of nodes in the mesh network. 18. The lighting device of claim 16, wherein the processor when generating the Bluetooth-standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to: set a bit within the flag byte field to indicate that the addressee is an individual node in the mesh network. 19. The lighting device of claim 16, wherein the processor when generating the Bluetooth-standard compliant advertising packet, is further configured to: set one or more bits within the flag byte field to indicate an identifier of a channel, the channel identifier enabling segregation of communication between one or more mesh networks. 20. A method comprising: generating, by a lighting device processor, a standard compliant advertising packet, wherein the generated advertising packet includes a mesh specific sequence and a lighting device identifier code assigned to the lighting device;broadcasting the generated advertising packet within a mesh network by a radio frequency transceiver;in response to the broadcasted advertising packet, receiving a packet sent by a mobile device, wherein the packet includes data requested by the lighting device processor;determining a received signal strength indicator of a signal containing the response packet received from the mobile device; andbased on the received signal strength indicator, obtaining an estimate of a position of the mobile device. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein generating the standard compliant advertising packet further comprises: inserting a mesh specific sequence in a field of the advertising packet; andinserting a lighting device identifier code in another field of the advertising packet. 22.
