IP Address137.66.36.122
Port9004
BLE Keywp0pZf6exeEJ2RFG

Jump to Server Configuration for step-by-step instructions.

App Installation (Android)

The BLE Debugger app is required to configure ZIMO scooters and e-bikes via Bluetooth. This app allows you to connect directly to the vehicle's IOT module for configuration and diagnostics.

Download the App

The BLE Debugger app is available for Android devices. You can download it from:

This app requires an Android device. iOS is not currently supported.

Required Permissions

After installation, grant the following permissions:

  • Location Access - Required for Bluetooth scanning on Android
  • Storage Access - For saving log files and firmware updates
  • Bluetooth Connectivity - Essential for communicating with the IOT module
  • Background Running (Optional) - Helps maintain stable connection during configuration

Connecting via Bluetooth

Scanning for Devices

1

Open the App

Launch the BLE Debugger app on your Android device

2

Scan for Devices

Pull down on the screen to scan for nearby devices. Wait a few seconds for the scan to complete.

3

Find Your Device

Look for devices named "Scootor" (note the spelling). The device will show its MAC address and signal strength.

Device Identification

ZIMO devices appear as "Scootor" with a darker background color. Unknown devices appear as "UnKnow". Stay within 10 meters of the vehicle for best results.

Setting the Secret Key

You must enter the BLE key to establish a secure connection with the scooter.

1

Initiate Connection

Tap "Connect" next to your device to enter the Debug Scooter page

2

Set the Key

Tap "SET SECRET" in the top right and enter: wp0pZf6exeEJ2RFG

3

Save and Reconnect

Tap "Save", return to the Devices page, and tap "Connect" again

Successful Connection

After connecting, you'll see device information including IOT Version, ECU Version, Product ID, IMEI number, and ICCID (SIM card identifier).

Server Configuration

After inserting a SIM card, you need to configure the IOT module to connect to your fleet management server. Access this by tapping the menu (three dots) and selecting "Set IP".

Quick Note on MQTT Credentials

The BLE app connects to the scooter using a 16-character BLE secret key (not MQTT credentials). The MQTT username and password fields in the "Set IP" form are for the scooter's connection to your MQTT server.
