SALUS SG888ZB Universal Gateway User Guide

INTRODUCTION

The Gateway, functioning as a Zigbee Co-Ordinator, is the primary component of a Zigbee system. The Gateway creates the Zigbee network, serves as the central hub for Zigbee communications, and creates a bridge to the internet and SALUS Smart Home Cloud.
The Gateway hosts a flexible ‘Rules engine’ that allows users to create ‘Automations’ that allow data and/or functions from one device, to be used as part of custom control sequences on other devices, using simple, If/Then and And/Or logic.

N OTE : Additional equipment may be required due to building construction or materials, or other radio interference that may reduce the radio range.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these instructions before installing and using the Gateway and keep this guide in a safe place for future reference.

  • Verify compatibility with your connected home system before installation.
  • Follow all instructions provided by your connected home manufacturer regarding the addition of devices to your connected home system. An authorized, qualified installer may be required.

Salus accepts no responsibility for damage caused by not following these instructions.

CONTROLS, CONNECTIONS, AND INDICATORS

The Multi button on top of the Gateway is used to initiate various modes.
These are, to identify devices on the network, to Pair compatible devices to the network, and to reset the Gateway to factory default settings.
The LED Ring will turn different colors to indicate the Gateway status.
The Ethernet Port and Micro USB power port are located under the port cover.

CONNECTING THE GATEWAY
To access the network and power ports, remove the port cover.

Connect the network cable first. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Gateway, the other end into an internet router (provided by others).
Next plug the micro USB end of the USB cable into the Gateway port and plug the other end into the USB power adapter, or USB power adapter rated 5V @ 1A

GATEWAY INITIALIZATION
After power is applied, the Gateway will go through an initialization process. The LED ring provides an indication of the connection status.

Green: during initial power up| Red: connected to internet, connecting to Cloud server| Blue: connected to Smart Home Cloud, initialization complete

LOCATING THE GATEWAY

The Gateway must be placed in an area where it can receive power through the 5V micro-USB port, and initially, an Ethernet port. Once
activated using the SALUS Smart Home App, the Gateway may be connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network allowing it to be placed in a more convenient location.
For best network coverage, the Gateway should be placed in a central location.
Typical coverage inside is 100-foot (30m) radius around the Gateway.
Wall, floor, and ceiling construction may reduce the effective coverage area.
Devices that function as Routers or Repeaters may be used to extend the network coverage.
It is best to place the Gateway in a location away from devices that may generate significant electrical interference.

USING THE GATEWAY

While the Gateway can operate in a stand-alone mode, it is most often connected to the SALUS Smart Home Cloud allowing monitoring and control to be done using the SALUS Smart Home App.
In stand-alone mode the user can initiate Join, Identify, and Factory Reset commands.
When connected to the SALUS Cloud the Smart Home App provides the user interface for provisioning, monitoring and control of the Gateway and devices connected to it.

Stand-alone operation

Pressing the Multi button for longer than 3 seconds but less than 10 seconds, places the Gateway in Join mode, the LED ring flashes Red.
When Join is active, other devices also in Join mode, to attach to the network created by the Gateway.
Once Joined, these devices may now communicate and interact with other devices on the network.
The Gateway will remain in the Join mode until terminated by pressing the Multi button for 3 seconds and the LED ring tuns Blue.
Refer to the individual device instructions for how to initiate the Join mode for each device.
On initial power up, or after a Factory Reset, most devices will default to the Join mode.
Pressing the Multi button momentarily will cause the LED ring to flash Green and place the Gateway in Identify mode.
In Identify mode, all connected devices (except Water Leak, Temperature, and Door/Window sensors) will flash their display or LED to indicate they are associated with the Gateway.
Pressing the Multi button for longer than 10 seconds but less than 13 seconds, will cause the LED to turn steady Yellow and initiate a Factory Reset of the Gateway.
A Factory Reset clears all the network connections, devices Joined to the Gateway, and Automation rules and resets the Gateway to Factory default settings.
The Factory Reset should only be done if the system is configured incorrectly or is unresponsive.
