Smart_Gateway.png

Smart Gateway

Gateway not found after installation.

Check the connection cable, are the gateway and mobile connected to the same network? If you have a mesh network or extenders, etc. you may have challenges connecting the gateway as some solutions operate as two different networks. Alternatively, you can connect the mobile to the main router (the same router as the Gateway is plugged into) or you can plug the Gateway into one of the network ports on the Mesh network or Extender to get the devices into the same network.

 

Connection problems from SG Smart Gateway to SG Smart System

Some people experience problems when trying to connect an SG Smart Gateway to the SG Smart System. This may be due to the strict internet security of either the internet router or the internet service provider.

Usually there is no need to configure the internet router. However, if the router has strict security settings, you need to give the gateway access to the internet via TCP ports 80 and 443.

The gateway uses the internet for the following:
- Retrieve location settings from the cloud server.
- Update device status to the cloud server.
- Communicate with the SG Smart app (via SG's cloud server) to accept control from the app and report status to the app.
- Retrieve the gateway's geographical location.
- Retrieve sunrise/sunset time for the geographical location.
- Retrieve street name from Google to display the geographical location in the SG Smart app.
- If Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomeKit is enabled, voice commands from Alexa, Google Home or Siri (via Amazon/Google/Apple) are sent to SG's cloud server, and from there to the gateway to control the BLE devices.

The gateway also listens to ports UDP 5353, TCP 3567, 65432 and 65433 so that the SG Smart app running on the same subnet can discover the gateway, and for Apple HomeKit.

Apart from what is mentioned here, the gateway will not communicate with other devices on the network.

The gateway drops out of the system after some time in operation.

A1) Unplug the Gateway and wait approx. 10 sec. Before putting it back. If the problem recurs, follow A2

A2) Attempt to disconnect the Gateway from the app and re-insert it. To do this, open the menu (cogwheel in the top right-hand corner), then "Disconnect device". The disconnect button can be found on the underside of the Gateway. Then go to "Device manager" and follow the connection process.

 

Home kit

If you do not have access to the previous user's account for Homekit, Google Home and Alexa and want to remove the connection to these, you can do so as follows:

Homekit: Disconnect the gateway. Then you will also reset the HomeKit connection. NB: The gateway must be connected to the location (again) afterwards.

Google Home and Alexa: Remove previous users from the location in the SG Smart app.

What do the lights on the Gateway mean?

A1) Blue (Flashes during activity): Bluetooth indicator.

A2) Orange (Flashes when active): LAN link indicator.

A3) Green (lit during normal operation): Power indicator.
