    Sorted out the problem with "URL response Fail!" error message box. Turns out my system for some reason doesn't resolve URL avnetagent.iotconnect.io to IP address. Temporary workaround is adding this line…

    Hi, I have some problems with syncing app v1.2: there's too short delay between board restart and detecting WiFi IP address, sometimes WiFi address is not detected. Can be worked around by adding PAUSE…

    For future readers, I don't doubt your knowledge, but I save you the time of the search for the location of the hosts file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

    I found a simple solution: Increase the "timeout 3" value to "timeout 10". This is the third line from the bottom in the "sk_check.bat" script.

    The last 3 days of my check-ins aren't showing on the heatmap. Also i'm not receiving emails of confirmation. New to Azure, I had to create a single user AAD. I had to create a name@kelvic3d.onmicrosoft.com address but I cant seem to find where to setup or receive emails for the address. Help please!

    something i discovered is that the board didn't connect quick enough to wifi.  if i clicked into the command prompt that runs when pressing "Read Device" after the reboot but before it checks wifi the script pauses, wait a few seconds, then press a key on the keyboard to get it to continue.  By then the board has connected to wifi and all is good.

    I have traced my problem to Cloudflare DNS at 1.1.1.1, probably their EU servers are not fully synced.
    After switching to Google Public DNS at 8.8.8.8 everything works as expected.
