Connecting a Gateway

Items in the box

In the box of the Gateway you can find the following items:

  • Gateway device

  • 12V power supply with 5,5mm barrel jack plug or 5V USB-C power supply.

  • 110cm EMS service cable

  • EMS service cable angled adapter

  • 100cm 2-lead EMS screw terminal cable

  • 3-wire JST cable

  • Green or orange screw terminal

  • Double sided tape (very strong once applied)

Mounting the Gateway

If you want to mount the Gateway to a surface, use the double sided tape. Be careful, it is very strong once applied, and it can only be used once. It may damage wall paper when removed. Because of the rubber feet on the bottom of the E32 V2 Gateway, you may need to cut the tape and put two layers on top of each other.

The E32 V2 Gateway can also be mounted on a wall.

The S3 is very small and can easily be stuffed away.

Order of installation

In general the order in which you should continue is as follows:

  • Connect the Gateway to your boiler

  • Connect the Gateway to your home network

  • Update the firmware to the last (stable) release version

  • Integrate the Gateway to your home automation

When doing the last step of integrating the Gateway into your home automation, it is important to first make all the necessary setting in the web interface of the Gateway and only as a final step enable f.i. MQTT. This will ensure you had the time to configure the Gateway to your needs and preferences; give everything the name you like, enable or disable specific services like NTP and hide certain entities from the home automation. You can always make changes later but as soon as f.i. you enable MQTT with MQTT Discovery, Home Assistant will only need seconds to absorb everything. If you change MQTT client names or certain entities, the entities already discovered will stay in Home Assistant and appear ‘dead’.

Note

Because new features are added continuously it is advised to update the firmware to at least the latest stable version. Do this before enabling MQTT as each new firmware may add some changes in the MQTT format. If you let f.i. Home Assistant detect the entities of the Gateway with an older firmware first, chances are that when you update the firmware some entities may be lost or renamed.
