Pybytes iOS

Pybytes iOS app will allow you to quickly provision any number of devices effortlessly to Pybytes.

Tip: Your devices will need to run firmware 1.20.1 or newer.

Further down the page you will find the following information:

Pybytes iOS installing and Device Provisioning

Go to the App Store and download Pybytes iOS app.

Use your Pybytes web app account to log in. Tip: Go to Pybytes web app with Safari on iOS or macOS and save your log-in credentials. Then your iPhone will pre-fill your saved password.

On the next screen, you will need to enter your Wi-Fi credentials.

After pressing the START button, a list of devices will appear on the screen. It may take up to several minutes to provision all of your devices. The first device usually appears on the screen within one minute. Tip: The name of a device provisioned device is its Wireless MAC address.

As your devices are provisioning in Pybytes devices management platform, you will see notifications appearing on the screen when the provisioning is successful. You will also see the provisioned devices in the Devices section.

Take into consideration

If you are using iOS 12, turn off your Wi-Fi completely on your iPhone.

Only use a Wi-Fi network with 2.4GHz as Pycom devices cannot connect to a 5GHz network.

Your device might be provisioned faster if you move your device closer to your Wi-Fi router.

Make sure your devices are powered on and running firmware 1.20.1 or newer.

You cannot provision the same devices on the different Pybytes account unless you erased them completely and flashed the latest firmware again with FW updater tool.

If there is a spinning wheel on your screen, that means that your device is being provisioned. If it has disappeared, then press the START button again.

Please take into account that we are developing a new feature and therefore some niggles can occur. (Please bear with us!) If any issues occur whilst you are using Pybytes iOS, then drop us a line at support@pycom.io.

If you have version that is later than iOS 12, check your Wi-Fi router setting. It should run on a 2.4 HGz Wi-Fi network.
