Problem adding Thingy:91 in the nRF Cloud

[T1mS_]

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.

I will reset my notebook today and check if anything will change after that.

I'm trying to find out if thingy:91 would be a suitable solution for our startup for the iot solution. At the moment I'm having a hard time with it, because the startup was very tough or actually not possible at all. Do you have any more ideas on how we can reach a satisfactory point for both of us?

Hi Heidi,

so after a reset of my notebook it works better, but not perfect yet.

I tried again these commands. This is the result:

AT+CFUN=4 works

AT%XSYSTEMMODE = 0,1,1,0 still fails

but AT%XEPCO=0 works also.

I would actually suggest the nRF9160 Development Kit for developers to use in the development of their applications. It has an on-board debugger and an SDK with numerous examples.

Now it is connected to the telekom network. I tried it again to add it in the nRFCloud but still with no luck.

Could this be the problem from the log:

cloud_connect failed: -111

LTE link disconnect

Shutdown modem
