The G2 WiFi Gateway is our new Gateway, and it's replacing the original G1 WiFi Gateway. We've discontinued the G1, and new G1s are no longer available. The G2 does the same job: it picks up your sensors' readings and sends them to the internet, so you can check them and get alerts from anywhere. It's also smaller and less expensive than the G1.
Will My G1 Keep Working?
Yes. If you already have a G1, it keeps working with your sensors, the SensorPush app and your account. You don't need to replace it or do anything.
Adding a G2
- The G2 works with all SensorPush sensors: HT1, HT.w, HTP.xw and TC.x.
- It uses the same SensorPush app and the same account. There's no subscription or monthly fee.
- Your sensors don't need to be added again. Once the G2 is on your account, they report through whichever Gateway is in range.
- You can use G1 and G2 Gateways together on one account, for example to cover more of a building or a second location.
- Before you set up a G2, update the SensorPush app to the latest version.
Replacing a G1 With a G2
Set up the G2 where it's within Bluetooth range of your sensors and has a good 2.4 GHz WiFi signal. Once your sensors are reporting through the G2, you can unplug the G1. If you like, you can also remove the G1 from your account. See How do I reset/remove a Gateway from my account?
What's Different About the G2
- Smaller and less expensive: the G2 is more compact than the G1 and costs less.
- Power: the G2 runs on USB-C power, 5 volts / 1 amp. A charger and cable are included. It can also run from a USB battery bank that supplies 5 volts and at least 1 amp.
- WiFi: like the G1, the G2 connects to 2.4 GHz WiFi, not 5 GHz. It also works with newer WPA3 routers, including routers that require Protected Management Frames (PMF), which the G1 can't connect to.
- No Ethernet port: the G2 connects by WiFi only.
- Status light: when the G2 is connected and working, its light slowly breathes white.
Where Can I Buy One?
The G2 WiFi Gateway is available on Amazon in the United States.
