Gateway G1
Section 1 | General information
This manual helps you setting up your Smart Home System. It contains all the information needed for adding
new components, debugging and optimizing your system.
Retain this manual for future reference. All documents needed for implementing your Smart Home System can
be downloaded from www.ubisys.de.
1.1 ubisys Smart Home
The ubisys Smart Home System uses the newest technologies and standards to serve you smart components
that facilitate everyday routines.
Whether you simply turn on lights or control complex scenarios including many components, the ubisys Smart
Home System helps you making your home facility smarter.

A ubisys rendering components (e.g. universal dimmer D1)
B Smartphone/Tablet
C Gateway G1
D Your DSL, UMTS or LTE router
The following components are required to use the ubisys Smart Home System:
• Gateway G1: In your Smart Home network, the gateway is the central component. It connects the Smart
Home components to your home network. If connected to your router, you can control your components via
the smartphone or tablet app – even from every point in the world if using the internet.
• An individual selection of ubisys Smart Home components, e.g. universal dimmer D1, jalousie controller J1
etc.
• Android or iOS apps. Define groups or scenarios, get current power consumption values or create new
bindings.
Note: For some simple applications you can use your components without needing a gateway or app. In this
case, however, your components won’t get any updates. Electricity specialized companies are able to do an
initial installation of ZigBee components in the finished structural foundation with the ubisys network manager,
or a basic installation and add the gateway at a later time.
ubisys’ wireless components are based on the international standards IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee. This guaran-
tees a long term availability of components and a safe investment.

Gateway G1
Section 1 | General information
1.2 Security and privacy
ubisys’ highest priority is both the safety of yours and your facilities. From the very beginning, our development
department attached importance to develop encryption and authentication algorithms ensuring that only you gain
access to your Smart Home components, at any time.
1.2.1 Safety of radio links
Hacker attacks via radio links are only possible when the attacker is in range of your facility’s radio network. For
this reason, hackers don’t prioritize these objects, but put their focus on devices that can be globally accessed,
such as gateways. Nevertheless, we attached importance to make the radio interface meet high level safety re-
quirements. As an administrator of a public facility, e.g. a hotel, holiday resort, company or a public authority, you
should take the threat of such hacker attacks serious.
Radio links between the components of your ubisys Smart Home System are based on the standard ZigBee
Home Automation, which is based on the ZigBee PRO core technology. ZigBee PRO includes several safety
features, such as an AES-128 network key to ensure that your data can’t be read by third parties near your
facility. Moreover, it is not possible for attackers to send control commands to your network, or to record legit
control commands for future execution (“replay attack”). Unlike proprietary solutions, the open ZigBee PRO
standard has passed safety tests, allowing to be used in billing related systems.
1.2.2 Gateway safety
The gateway has several services that are needed to gain access to your facility from the outside or for certain
time or event controlled processes. This includes the Smart Facility Service, which establishes the connection
between the facility and the Smart Home app on your mobile device. Naturally, is has to be ensured that this
service is accessible from the outside. Therefore, all connections from your apps to this service are specially
protected and encrypted.
While setting up your facility via app, access authorization will be installed on your smartphone, giving you ac-
cess to your facility after the setup. A lost smartphone can be locked at any time via the gateway’s web interface.
Make sure that the web interface of your gateway cannot be reached from the outside. Don’t set up port forwar-
ding via the TCP port 80, use local accesses or secured connections such as VPN to gain safe access to the
web interface.
1.2.3 Remote maintenance
Remote maintenance is done via a secured connection. This connection is protected by a certificate and has to
be opened explicitly via the gateway’s web interface. The interface indicates an active remote access. Therefore,
no one can access your system except for the ubisys support team – and only if you explicitly authorized access.
1.2.4 Cloud services
At this time, ubisys doesn’t use any cloud services. Facility information and profiles aren’t saved as well. There-
fore, the protection of your data is not threatened.
1.2.5. Updates
Firmware updates for your gateway are certificated. Therefore, they cannot be manipulated to install threatening
software. The firmware for ZigBee devices is encrypted and has an integrity test. Every time the gateway firm-
ware is updated, the current firmware version and serial number will be stored for statistic reasons.
1.3 Function
The gateway is the central component in your network. It connects your Smart Home components, which are
provided with the ZigBee technology (IEEE 802.15.4), with your home or office network and the internet. When

7
Gateway G1
Section 1 | General information
connected to your internet router, you are able to control and monitor all components via smartphone or tablet
app – and when using the internet, even from any position in this world.
The intuitive web interface allows you to set up your gateway by yourself. All you need is an internet browser.
The web interface offers following functions:
• Network configuration: In order to connect your Smart Home System to your home or office network, you
have to adjust the gateway’s network settings (IP address, network mask, name server, optionally proxy
settings etc.) to the network environment.
• Firmware updates: The gateway downloads and provides both its own firmware and the one of all other
components by itself. Additionally, you regularly receive new functions. And, in case of facing problems, you
can solve errors by using this function.
• Unlocking and locking of mobile devices: Only authorized persons shall get access to your Smart Home
facility. For this purpose, you can authorize individual devices and grant them access.
• Support access: An integrated remote maintenance function, which can only be enabled by you, allows our
customer service to get access to your device. Thereby, we can work on service cases without needing to
do costly drives.
So called “Power-over-Ethernet Powered Device” (IEEE 802.3af) provide a more elegant installation option.
These gateways are able to both get their supply voltage and transmit data via the same wire. Thereby, you
neither require a free power socket near the gateway, nor you need to lay a second line. If you don’t have a PoE
switch, you can use a PoE injector to provide the supply voltage instead.
1.4 Ports
• 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, PoE PD1)
• Supply voltage 5V/1A
Only required, when not using PoE
• USB 2.0 high speed host port

1.7 Wall mounting
The gateway can be either simply put up or mounted on a wall. If you want to install the gateway on fixed po-
sition, make sure that you don’t damage switches, power sockets, gas and water pipes, when determining the
mount position and drilling next to the ones mentioned above.
Don’t mount the gateway on metal boards or other environments that can impair RF transmissions. Information
about troubleshooting can be found in section 10 “Notes on troubleshooting”.
• Place the drilling template at the desired mount position and adjust it appropriately. Ensure that the network
and power connectors and wires have enough space.
• Mark the position of both the drill holes A and B with the help of the drill template and a pencil.
• Drill at the two marked positions holes with a diameter of 5mm in the wall. After that, put a dowel in each
hole. Turn the screw into the dowel so that they are about 6mm out of the wall. Put the unit with the rear
recess on the screw heads and hang it on.

If possible, the gateway should be installed first, before all other components. This gives you better control of
the installation progress. The following sections explain the usual procedure for the initial operation.
2.1 System requirements
Power supply:
5V DC (via included power adapter up to 100 – 240V AC) or 48V PoE (Power-over-Ethernet)
Devices with a PoE option can be powered either via PoE or the included AC adapter;
Devices without PoE option can only be powered via AC adapter.
Web browser with HTML4/5, CSS2/3 and JavaScript, e.g.:
Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Microsoft ® Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox®, Opera, etc.
Data link:
Ethernet 10/100Mbit/s and IPv4 network environment (IPv6 will be featured by a future update)
2.2 Connecting the gateway
Connecting the gateway to your network
Use the included network wire (G) to connect the gateway to your DSL, UMTS or LTE router (see figure).
Connecting the gateway to power supply
Connect the included power adapter (H) to your gateway and plug it into the power socket (see figure 2). This
device may only be connected to an easily accessible power socket indoors.
In case of danger the main connector has to be disconnected.
If you chose the gateway variant “Power-over-Ethernet Powered Device” (PoE PD), you can provide the supply
voltage via network wire. This requires a PoE switch or a PoE injector meeting the IEEE 802.3af standard, capa-
ble of providing a power of 1,5W up to 4W, if using the USB host slot.
Caution: To avoid damage to the device, use only the included original AC adapter as a power supply.

2.3 Logging in to the gateway
The gateway’s web interface can be reached via web browser. After connecting your gateway to your network
and providing power supply (see section 2.2 “Connecting the gateway”), you can start with the configuration.
Follow these steps:
1. Open your web browser.
2. In the URL, enter the gateway’s default address http://192.168.0.211 and press the Enter key. If a prompt
is displayed which indicates an address on the local network, accept this.
3. In the appearing window, enter user name and password for authorization (see figure 3). The default user
name and password are both: admin
4. Click “Login” or press Enter.
Figure 3

Gateway G1
Section 2 | Commissioning
You are now on the web interface’s home screen (see figure 4). If this site does not open, check the wiring and
make sure that the gateway is in the same logical network as the device from which you opened the web inter-
face is. The gateway’s default device address is 211, in the subnet 192.168.0.X (subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
If the IP address of your computer does not start with 192.168.0.*, change it temporarily in order to configure
the gateway properly. More information can be found in section 3.9 “Changing network parameters for gateway
access”.
Figure 4
2.4 First steps to configure your gateway
Before you can use the gateway for your Smart Home System, the following settings have to be done:
• Adjust network settings to the network environment
• Authorize control unit
• Add components (dimmer, power switch, etc.)
2.4.1 Network settings
Configure the network parameters as described in section 3.3.1, or switch to DHCP with the help of the pro-
tected button at device’s rear side, as described in section 9.
2.4.2 Authorizing control device
Before you can control and configure your Smart Home System via app, you need to authorize your smartphone
or tablet as a control unit. Navigate to “Security” and follow these steps:
1. In the section “Enable access for an additional device”, enter any access code in the “Access code” textbox
(must be at least 4 digits). Optionally, you can remember the randomly generated 4 digit code (see figure
8). This code will be automatically generated when opening this site.
2. Click “Activate”. For the next step, you have a time limit of 5 minutes. When reaching this time limit, the
authorization time frame automatically closes. After each authorization attempt though an app, the time fra-
me is automatically closed prematurely.
3. Start the app on your smartphone or tablet (available in the Apple Store or Google Play Store) and select
the appropriate gateway. You will then be asked to enter the recently defined access code. After that, you
have access to your Smart Home System via the configured device.

2.4.3 Add components
Once you have both successfully configured your gateway and added a smartphone or tablet as a control unit,
you can start to install components, such as dimmers, power switches, blind controllers etc.
When a component has been connected, and power is turned on again, this component will then automatically
try to log in to an open Smart Home network. For this, you have to open your Smart Home network in order to
add new components.
On the web interface, navigate to “Security”, then head to “Open ZigBee network for new components” and
click “Open” (see figure 9).
Figure 9
Your Smart Home network will now be opened for 2 minutes. During this time, one or more new components can
log in to the network (see figure 10).
Figure 10
In your Smart Home app, go to Configuration -> Basic Configuration -> Components. All new components
should be listed here. Optionally, you can also find these components on the “Status” site of the gateway’s web
interface.
Once all components have logged in to the network, you can close your Smart Home network by clicking “Clo-
se” (see figure 10).
A closed network ensures that no foreign devices get unauthorized access to your ZigBee network.
If you wish to add further components, just repeat the procedure.
Caution: Smart Home components only search for an open network as long as they can successfully log in
to one. After that, even in case of a power breakdown, there will be no new searching attempts. If you want
to add components that have been signed to another network before, you will have to set them to default set-
tings first. More information about how to restore default settings can found in the appropriate component’s
manual (“Factory Reset”).

Initializing The gateway has recently been booted and is about to be ready.
The ZigBee network is being discovered via gateway, to disco-
ver existing components and to integrate them into your Smart
Home System. This procedure may take a few minutes.
At initial operation the gateway will automatically scan your Smart
Home network to allocate installed components. Only after this
procedure you will be able to control these components via app.
ZigBee network discovery via gateway completed. No new
components were found.
During the scan of your Smart Home network, no Smart Home
components have been found. In case, that installed components
couldn’t be found due to external parasitic inductions, you have
the option to manually start a network scan via app.
ZigBee network discovery via gateway completed. One (or
more) new component(s) were found.
The exact number of registered components during the network
scan will be displayed. In case, that installed components couldn’t
be found due to external parasitic inductions, you have the option
to manually start a network scan via app.
A new component (IEEE address: 00:1F:EE:00:00:00:00:01)
was found and integrated into your Smart Home System.

3.2.2 Time and date
In the “Time and date” section, the current date and time of your system is displayed. This information is impor-
tant when configuring time dependent actions for your Smart Home System (e.g. automatically raise blinds at a
certain time). If possible, date and time should be synchronized with an internet time server (NTP server). This
configuration is set by default. For this, the option “Synchronize date and time automatically” should be enabled
(see figure 17). A permanent internet connection, such as DSL, is required.

If you want to set the system date and time manually, follow these steps:
1. Deactivate the option “Synchronize date and time automatically” by clicking on the check mark (see figure
17).
2. A mask for manual configuration will automatically be displayed (see figure 18). Click the appropriate text
boxes to specify date and time.
3. Click on the “Save” button after finishing the configuration.

Caution: After a loss of the supply voltage, the integrated battery can hold the time updated for some time.
After that the clock starts again at 0:00 a.m. on 01/01/1970.
3.2.3 Time zone
In the “Time zone” section you can define the time zone. The default value is set to Europe/Berlin. By defining
the time zone, conversion of coordinated world time to local time is performed. To change the time zone, follow
these steps:
1. Click the “Change time zone” button (see figure 19).
2. Use the list box to select the city that matches your local time (see figure 20).
3. Click the “Save” button to save your settings.

3.3 Network configuration
The gateway connects the wireless ZigBee network with your home or office network and the internet. Before
you can get access to your Smart Home facility via gateway with the help of the app, the gateway has to be
connected to a router or access point first (see section 2.2 “Connecting gateway”). For smooth operation, the
parameters for the respective network environment have to be set correctly in “Network Settings”.
3.3.1 Network settings
Under the menu item “Network Settings” in the main navigation, the network settings are to be found. Here, you
can choose between static and dynamic (automatic) network configuration. Choosing a dynamic IP address
requires a DHCP server, which is e.g. provided by your router.
