Frequently Asked Questions - SmartSystem GARDENA

How to connect the Gateway to the Internet using a LAN cable?

Plug in the power supply, then connect the Gateway to your router using the provided LAN cable. Wait until the Power and Internet LEDs become solid green (up to 15 minutes). Then download the GARDENA smart system app and follow the instructions.

How to connect the Gateway via Wi-Fi (without LAN cable)?

After powering on, wait for the Internet LED to turn yellow (configuration network enabled). Connect to the Wi-Fi network named GARDENA_config from your device. Open the URL http://10.0.0.1 in a browser, log in using the first 8 characters of the Gateway ID (located under the device), then select your home Wi-Fi network and its password.

What to do if I cannot connect to the configuration network?

Make sure the Internet LED is solid yellow. The configuration network stays active for 15 minutes. If it has expired, briefly press the Reset button to reactivate it. Also check that cookies and JavaScript are enabled on your browser.

How long does the Gateway software update take?

The initial update can take up to 15 minutes depending on your Internet connection. The Power and Internet LEDs become solid green once the update is complete.

What do the LEDs on the Gateway mean?

The Power LED lights up green when the device is powered on. The Internet LED indicates connection status: solid green = connected to Internet; solid yellow = configuration mode (temporary Wi-Fi network); off or red = no connection.

How to set up the Gateway with Apple HomeKit?

For an iPhone/iPad, wait for the Internet LED to be solid yellow. Open the Apple Home app, choose 'Add Accessory', then scan the HomeKit code located under the Gateway. Follow the instructions until the Internet LED turns green. Then download the GARDENA smart system app.

Where to find the Gateway ID?

The Gateway ID is on a sticker under the device. It looks like a UUID code (example: 9eb74563-e89b-12d3-a456-426655446548). The first 8 characters (without dashes) serve as the password for the configuration interface.

Can I use the Gateway with another smart home system other than HomeKit?

The Gateway is primarily designed to work with the GARDENA smart system app and is compatible with Apple HomeKit. No other compatibility is mentioned. For other uses, contact GARDENA support.

What to do if my device automatically leaves the GARDENA_config configuration network?

It may happen that your smartphone or tablet leaves this network because it has no Internet access. In your device's Wi-Fi settings, allow staying connected even without Internet access. On iOS, disable the 'Auto-Join' option for this network if necessary.

How to obtain the source code of the open source software used in the Gateway?

GARDENA provides a copy of the source code upon request. Send an email in French, German, or English to [e-mail], specifying the product and date of purchase. The offer is valid for three years after purchase.
