Hotspot Twinkle

If a mobile network is available on your mobile device, the Hotspot Twinkle method is used to connect Cloudio to the network and your account. This method creates a personal hotspot on your mobile device for Cloudio to connect to and uses this connection to transfer the password of the Wi-Fi network that your mobile device and Cloudio can both connect to.

Hotspot Twinkle is available in the Accounts section of GraspIO Studio.
