In this section we will use the IG Connect app to connect to and provision your IG60-BL654 gateway to work with the Bluegrass platform under your user account. Please follow the steps below.

  1. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and open the IG Connect app.
  2. The app will automatically start searching for gateways. If it does not you can hit “Find Nearby Gateways” to start a search.
  3. It is possible that the search will timeout if your gateway device is not ready. You can restart the search in that case.

  4. Your gateway device should appear in the list as “Laird IG60 (XX:YY:ZZ) where the XX:YY:ZZ is equivalent to the last 6 digits of the MAC address. Tap on that address in order to connect to the device and continue the provisioning process.

    Note: Sometimes, particularly on iPhones, your device may not appear in the list, or the app will hang. If this occurs, please kill your app and restart it. This is a known bug and is being addressed.

  5. The app will begin reporting nearby wireless networks. When a list appears, select the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect to. Or, if you prefer to use LAN instead, you can toggle off the switch for Enable Gateway Wi-Fi and then tap “Next” in the top right corner. Bluegrass Wi-Fi Scan

    Note: If you previously tried to connect to a Wi-Fi network, but the process failed, you may not see new networks in the scan list. This is a known bug in the IG60-BL654. To resolve this issue, you’ll need to cycle power to the IG60-BL654 by unplugging the power supply and reconnecting it.

  6. Enter your credentials for your chosen network, then press “Next” in the top right corner. Bluegrass WI-Fi Password
  7. Enter the Provisioning URL (or copy and paste it from the confirmation email you received), as well as your email address and password you used to sign up at https://demo.lairdconnect.com/ in the “Bluegrass Account Creation” step of this guide. Bluegrass Provisioning URL Click “Next” in the top right corner.

  8. The app will change status from downloading to applying. Setup is complete when the app presents the message “Success - Device Provisioned”. Bluegrass Mobile Success

    Note: This step can take a few minutes depending on your network connection. The IG60-BL654 is downloading provisioning files. Please be patient. You will be returned to the home page of the app. It will prompt you to “FIND NEARBY GATEWAYS”. This is unecessary. You may now close the app and proceed with this guide.

Now that the gateway is provisioned we will move onto visualzing your sensor data on the Bluegrass platform in the next section of this document.
