Hey, I think the problem is with your internet connection. Contact your Internet Service Provider.
And in your college they have a firewall which prevents you from using it to connect to Bolt Server so try using ur home wifi or ur mobile hotstop by installing the Bolt App in some other phone.

@chirzz010101 If you are using a college WiFi, then chances are that they have installed a firewall or some MAC filtering which allows specific devices only to connect to the WiFi or get internet access.
Try setting up the device via your mobile hotspot or a home WiFi.

@nivibn Can you please check if you have logged in using the same email ID as the one you have used to set up the Bolt device in your app?

@nivibn Can you please share the Device ID of the Bolt? It will be something like BOLTXXXXX.
Also, try refreshing the page and if that does not work, try using an alternate browser.

You should have wifi network so it will be easy to connect the device with cloud and the green led will remain constant

Please check whether your wifi has got good internet connectivity. A good way is by visiting speedtest.net to check whether you get suitable speed for the stable internet connection. Else, follow the troubleshooting the setup process in the bolt training page to remove your bolt device from the college wifi as it has firewalls and connect it to mobile hotspot. I hope this information is useful.

Hey there!
Just plugin your bolt micro controller to “usb mobile charger” and give it power supply.

Then download bolt iot application in your mobile phone, and connect the microcontroller to mobile using bolt wifi (in wifi settings of your mobile):

Connect bolt microcontroller to your House WiFi :
This is very important. First disconnect mobile from “bolt” hotspot, then connect mobile to House WiFi, then give name of house wifi and it’s password in bolt application.

Then again check the page and refresh it in your laptop(or device where you are applying code)
