Problem adding Thingy:91 in the nRF Cloud

Hello,

I try to add a Thingy:91 to the nRF Cloud after I received it today. The sim card got's activated without a problem. When I try to key in my IMEI and the Pin which is printed on the label I receive this error: "There was an error adding your device. It wasn't found. Is it connected?"

How to solve this and add the device to my account?

  • Hi! 


    Can you confirm that the Thingy:91 is on and the LED is blue and blinking.

    Best regards,

    Heidi

  • Hi Heidi, 

    I think it is more like a blue-withe breathing in a two seconds on and around 5 seconds off interval. 

  • What is meant by this:

    Connect the Thingy:91 to the nRF9160DK board’s “Debug out” port using a 10-pin JTAG cable.

    I only have a usb cable and I don't have a  nRF9160DK board

    EDIT: I found a jlink device and now the nRF Programmer recognize the device.

  • update process done successfully.

    Error in the nRFCloud remains the same.

  • Yes, the reason you can't connect is that iBasis only has limited LTE-M coverage in Germany.

    I would suggest using a SIM card from a local carrier that supports NB-IoT and flashing this firmware to the Thingy:91. 

     thingy91_nbiot_legacy_pco_v0.2.2.hex

  • Flashed the firmware and will report back.

    My second sim is from 1nce.com. It should support NB-IoT:

    They are using the telekom network which is, regarding to the map, available at my location:

  • Now it says that it is connected:

    But I still cannot add it in the cloud?!
