Multi-gateway is a feature that is designed for situations where it is not possible to measure the entire installation with only 1 Smappee monitor. This can be due to the scope of the project (more then 28 CT's required), by the fact that there is a lot of distance between the different boards where measurements must be done or also because it isn't possible to have a RJ10 or RJ45 cable between the different boards.
A Multi-gateway installation will always be comprised of several Smappee measurement kits or charging stations (henceforth called child location) and 1 Genius location (henceforth called parent location).
Required components
- Any number of child locations, these can be:
-
- Any Smappee charging station.
- Smappee Infinity installation comprised of a Powerbox, a Connect and any number of CT Hubs and CT's. (Maximum of 7 CT Hubs or 28 measurements per location).
-
- 1 parent location which is always a Smappee Genius.
Set up
Please note you will require a partner or installer account to set up Multi-gateway in the Smappee Dashboard.
- set up and configure all child locations via the Smappee app as you would normally do for a charging station or Infinity installation.
- Connect the Smappee Genius to a free B-port of one of the Connect gateways in the installation with an RJ10 cable.
- set up and configure the Genius on a separate location in the Smappee app. During the installation flows in the app, do not add any loads.
- Login to the Smappee Dashboard, navigate to the Genius location and go to the card Location configuration.
- Click promote to multi-gateway parent. After a few minutes, if the update was successful, the function should change
- Finally, link the parent location to all child locations. Navigate to a child location in the Dashboard then go to Charger configuration for a charging station or Location configuration for an infinity.
- Click the
next to Multi-gateway parent (Location configuration)or click the
next to location (charger configuration).
- Input the Genius Serial number of the parent location and click Save.
- Repeat the process for each child location.
