6.2. Device Management and Automation
- Device Control: Tap on any added device in the app to control its functions (e.g., turn lights on/off, adjust brightness, check sensor status).
- Scene Creation: Create custom scenes to control multiple devices simultaneously with a single tap (e.g., "Good Morning" scene to turn on lights and open blinds).
- Automation: Set up automated routines based on conditions like time, weather, device status, or sensor triggers (e.g., turn on a fan when temperature exceeds 25°C).
- Voice Control: Integrate with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant (if supported by the app) for hands-free control.
7. Maintenance

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gateway not powering on. | No power, faulty cable/adapter. | Ensure power adapter is plugged in and working. Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter. |
| Gateway not connecting to Wi-Fi. | Incorrect Wi-Fi password, 5GHz network, gateway too far from router. | Verify Wi-Fi password. Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz network. Move gateway closer to the router. Reset gateway and try pairing again. |
| Cannot add sub-devices. | Sub-device not in pairing mode, out of range, incompatible protocol. | Ensure sub-device is in pairing mode. Move sub-device closer to the gateway. Verify sub-device uses Zigbee, BLE, or Sig Mesh. |
| Gateway unresponsive. | Temporary software glitch. | Perform a power cycle: unplug the gateway, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in. |
Resetting the Gateway
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to reset the gateway to factory settings. This will remove all paired devices and Wi-Fi configurations.
- Locate the reset button on the side of the gateway (refer to Figure 2).
- Using a small pin or paperclip, press and hold the reset button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the status indicator light changes behavior (e.g., turns off, then blinks rapidly).
- Release the button. The gateway is now reset and ready for re-pairing.
