Setup
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Garage Door Operator: Ensure your Hormann garage door operator is powered off before beginning installation.
- Connect the Gateway: Locate the designated port on your garage door operator. Connect the 6-core connection cable from the WLAN-Gateway to this port. Note: For some garage door operators, a longer connection cable might be necessary.
- Power On: Restore power to the garage door operator. The gateway will power on automatically.
- Activate Bus Scan (for Supramatic P4 and similar models): For certain models like Supramatic P4, it is essential to activate the bus from the door operator. This is typically done via the operator's programming menu. An example sequence for Supramatic P4 is: PRG (long press) → 37 → PRG (short press) → 01 → PRG (long press). This sequence activates the bus scan, which is required for the gateway to receive power and communicate.

The gateway supports integration with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home/Google Assistant. The pairing process is generally straightforward:
- For Apple HomeKit:
- Open the Apple Home app on your iOS device.
- Tap the "+" icon to add an accessory.
- Scan the HomeKit QR code located on the WLAN-Gateway or its packaging.
