Just got my particle shipment but I can’t set up the device, it is stuck on Pairing with your Xenon! The device is blinking blue and the app is “Pairing with your Xenon” but nothing happens. This is probably an application issue? It should have a timeout at least.

[image] Jock: Then I scan the assisting device which is the Argon [...] The Xenon is blinking blue. If your assisting device is an Argon it needs to be that Argon which should blink blue (aswell as the Xenon you want to join the network) :wink: If you watch all the subtitles (3 or 4 differ…

Nothing shows up when I connect it to my computer but I have not tried anything else like the CLI.

You should see the COM port appear in Device Manager when your Xenon is plugged in provided you’re on Windows and have the drivers installed. The drivers are included in the Particle CLI install, but drivers aren’t needed for Windows 10. If you’re not seeing a COM port appear, then you probably hav…

No COM port, though I can put the DFU on (6 flashing light) and then it shows as DFU mode in device manager, but nothing shows up when just plugging it normally in on Windows 10.

You should NOT need drivers for Windows 10 (in fact, the are not recommended). You only zadig drivers if you want to flash via DFU. One thing to remember is that the Mesh device (or any Particle device for that matter) will not show up as a COM port if you don’t put it in listening mode (flashing …

It is in listening mode. I’m using the included USB cable.

I have the same issue. My xenon immediately wanted to update so I let that happen. Now it is stuck on blue flashing. I go through setup in the app and it hangs at select network to join but never shows any networks. I have an argon next to it and connected/paired to the cloud.

I set up 1 Boron, 5 Xenon’s, and 1 Argon today and I had to sometimes close the Particle App and then restart the setup process again after the new firmware had been loaded onto the device. So try that a few times if it takes that long or never shows a network. Also try a different phone or tablet …

The second time it asks to scan the qr code, do you scan the qr code of the device already on the mesh? And are both in listening mode?

Unable to pair with new Xenon

emil, I’m having the same issue (Unable to set up Boron LTE). Are you able to connect with the Xenon when plugging it into a computer?
