1. 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 can be downloaded from the ZIMO distribution server. Contact your Levy Fleets representative for the current download link and password.
Required Permissions
After installation, grant the following permissions for the app to function properly:
Required for Bluetooth scanning on Android
For saving log files and firmware updates
Essential for communicating with the IOT module
Helps maintain stable Bluetooth connection during configuration
2. Connecting via Bluetooth
Scanning for Devices
- Open the BLE Debugger app
- Pull down on the screen to scan for nearby devices
- Wait a few seconds for the scan to complete
- Look for devices named "Scootor" (note the spelling)
- The device will show its MAC address and signal strength (dBm)
Important Notes
- • Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone
- • Stay within 10 meters of the vehicle
- • ZIMO devices appear as "Scootor" with a darker background color
- • Unknown devices appear as "UnKnow"
Setting the Secret Key
Each IOT module has a 16-character security key configured at the factory. You must enter this key to establish a secure connection.
- Tap "Connect" next to your device
- You'll enter the Debug Scooter page
- Tap "SET SECRET" in the top right
- Enter your 16-character BLE key
- Tap "Save"
- Return to the Devices page and tap "Connect" again
Successful Connection
After connecting successfully, you'll see device information in the Input window:
- • IOT Version (e.g., V1.40)
- • ECU Version (e.g., V1.07)
- • Product ID
- • IMEI number
- • ICCID (SIM card identifier)
3. 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".
Configuration Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Name | MQTT topic name | KW |
| IP Address | Server IP or domain name (max 24 bytes) | 47.254.79.66 |
| Port | MQTT server port | 1883 |
| APN | Access Point Name from your SIM provider | JTM2M |
| MQTT User | Server authentication username (max 32 bytes) | admin |
| MQTT Password | Server authentication password (max 24 bytes) | public |
| Net User | SIM network username (usually blank) | — |
| Net Password | SIM network password (usually blank) | — |
After Configuration
- 1. Tap "Setting" to send the configuration to the IOT module
- 2. Send a "Reboot" command for changes to take effect
- 3. Use "Read" to verify the settings were saved correctly
