1.Overview

G1 is a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) to Wi-Fi connectivity gateway without the uses of smartphones or apps. The G1 gateway collects the data from iBeacon, Eddystone, BLE sensor and other BLE devices, and then sends to the local server or remote cloud server by HTTP / MQTT protocol over Wi-Fi / Ethernet. The subsequent version G1 Gateway will also implement the connection with BLE devices.

The meaning of the top LED Strip Lights status is as follows:

• Static LED Strip Lights: Indicates that the gateway is staring
• Dynamic white light rotation: Indicates that the gateway has been started
• Dynamic rotation LED Strip Lights: Indicates that the gateway is not connected to the server
• Dynamic breathing lights: Indicates that the gateway is already connected to the server (Note: The gateway is in the dynamic breathing lights by default, it can step into the energy-saving mode on minute after extinction of lights, you also can set up bright mode in the configuration page if rich enough)
• LED Strip Lights go out: Indicates that the gateway is not power or in energy-saving mode
