How do I add Thingy:91X device to my nRF Cloud account?

[PhilWare]

Hi,

I am using the Thingy:91X device and can see the updates appearing on the hello.nrfcloud.com web application, but I would like to have access to the 'device' via the nRF Cloud API.

I see on the older Thingy:91 and the NRF91610-DK device they have the PIN number on the label, but the Thingy:91X does not have a PIN number, only the hello.nRFCloud code.

How do I add my Thingy:91X device to my nRFCloud account?

Thanks,

Phil.

Hello Phil, 

You should be able to add this using the Quick Start app in nRF Connect for Desktop and program the Cellular: nRF Cloud multi-service sample to onboard your device to your nRF Cloud account. Note that Thingy:91X comes preprogrammed with Thingy:91 X: Hello nRF Cloud firmware.

Have a look at the nRF Cloud Getting Started guide and the Device Onboarding documentation for more information.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hello Øyvind,

some time ago I successfully added my Thingy:91 X to the nRF Cloud according to your suggested steps. After bricking it with custom firmware, I made a factory reset to the Hello nRF Cloud firmware using the nRF Connect Programmer and deleted the device from my cloud account. Now, in the Quick Start app, I don't have the option "Cloud multi-service sample" anymore. How could I add the Thingy back to the nRF Cloud?

Thanks in advance,
SMM

SiMiMe The latest version of the Asset Tracker Template in Quick Start should allow you to provision your device to nRF Cloud using AT%ATTESTTOKEN, similar to the Multi Service sample did. Following the process in Quick Start it will print out the token, which you can claim in nRF Cloud under Security Services and Claimed Devices. Here you should be able to "Claim device" by pasting the token in "claim token".  Once done the device will be listed under claimed devices and state "Ready", then the Asset Tracker template will eventually start the provisioning automatically. See Auto onboarding in the nRF Cloud documentation.

If you do have any more issues with these steps, please register a new DevZone ticket for further assistance.

Kind regards,
