In case you have an old door opener and requires to have the wall button pushed for more than one second in order to close the door, then it would be necessary to use the ON/OFF mode to close the door. Here is how the configuration would need to be:
Here is how the configuration would look like. This door would have two operating modes, the Garage mode that will open, and the ON/OFF that would close the door.
Here is how the App would look like. This is the first door (connections 1&2) already configured and the one that would only open the door.
Here is how the App would look like. This is the second door (connections 3&4) that would only close the door.
In this example, with only one Gogogate2 and only one door, the connections for the second door (3&4, the one with the ON/OFF mode) would be the same as the 1&2 terminals are connected to.
In case you have more than 2 door and you need this functionality then please do not hesitate to contact us at support@gogogate.com and we would do our best to provide the best and simplest solution.
If you have tried this and your door still does not close, it could be due to a different closing connection in the door motor. Please do not hesitate to contact us at support@gogogate.com for us to send the proper wiring instructions.
It is possible to keep the door open with the Gogogate2. This is done by the ON/OFF mode. Below you can find the pictures with the configuration and how the App would look like:
Here is how the configuration would look like. This door would have two opening modes, the Garage mode that will simply open and close, and the ON/OFF that would leave the door open.
Here is how the App would look like. This is the first door (connections 1&2) already configured and the one that would simply open and close.
Here is how the App would look like. This is the second door (connections 3&4) that would hold the door open.
In this example, with only one Gogogate2 and only one door, the connections for the second door (3&4, the one with the ON/OFF mode) would be the same as the 1&2 terminals are connected to.
In case you have more than 2 door and you want this functionality then you could contact us at support@gogogate.com and we would do our best to provide the best and simplest solution.

If you are trying to configure your camera for the first time and it does not complete the Wi-Fi configuration (for example, gets stuck at 30{cd672472845afe905bb464734124d6dfffa3b6d11ed3eefee87f2da295b6cc60}):
First, make sure that the camera is properly reset. If it is an Indoor camera press the Reset button at the back until the camera says: Ready for Wi-Fi configuration. In case it is an Outdoor camera press the Reset button on one of the wires connected for at least 20 seconds.
If reseting did not fix the issue the problem may be caused by a Firewall on the Wi-Fi network. Here are the instructions to workaround this problem:
Connect the Ethernet cable directly to the camera and to the router, or the extender power line adapter (Ethernet via power line). And then create a user and password for the camera to be able to access it from the computer.
Once connected to the network, please connect to the camera through your computer with one of the two options below (Please make sure that the Computer and phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi you want the camera to be connected to):
- You can connect to the Camera with your computer by executing the Search Tools software provided in the CD that comes with the camera, or from the instructions here, and select your camera by double clicking in it's IP (identifier unique number for the camera). That will open a window on your browser
- You can also access to the IP of the camera with your iSmartGate Cam App: Add a camera --> I don't have a QR code --> LAN --> There will be a list of the cameras connected, and its IP and port. This IP and port, just as it is shown there is what you have to introduce in your computer browser
From the browser page please login with your user and password set in the configuration of the camera:
Select the option Network --> Wireless Settings and configure your Wi-Fi:
Please make sure it is a 2.4GHz network.

Wi-Fi
In case you are planing to place the Gogogate2 outside to control a Gate, there are a few things to keep in mind:
First of all, the Gogogate2 is not waterproof, it can be placed inside a gate’s control box or inside a waterproof box like this one.
In case the WiFi signal in the gate box is not strong enough, there are a few options:
Solution 1:
You can replace the default USB WiFi adapter for this one.
And if this is not enough, you can try to replace the antenna (not the USB adapter only the antenna), for this one.
(Or for any USB Wi-Fi you want that has the Chipset RT5370)
Solution 2:
You could try to use a power line adapter (Ethernet via power line) and create an access point inside/close to your Gogogate2. For example, this one.
Solution 3:
You could place a 4G Router near the Gogogate2 to give it access to the internet. For example, this one.
Please find below a schematic of how the 4G Router would provide internet to the Gogogate2:
WINDOWS
- Open the Control Panel. On Windows 10 or 8.1, you can do this by right-clicking the Start button and selecting “Control Panel”.
- Click “View network status and tasks” under Network and Internet.
- Click the name of your connection to the right of “Connections” at the top-right corner of this page
- Click the “Details” button in the window that appears and look for the router’s IP address to the right of “IPv4 Default Gateway”.
MAC OS X
- Click the Apple menu on the bar at the top of your screen and select “System Preferences”. Click the “Network” icon.
- Select your network connection — for example, Wi-Fi or a wired ethernet connection — and click the “Advanced” button at the bottom of the screen.
- Click the “TCP/IP” tab. You’ll see your router’s IP address displayed to the right of “Router”.
IPHONE
Open the “Settings” app, tap “Wi-Fi”, and tap the name of your Wi-Fi network. You’ll see the router’s IP address appear to the right of “Router”.
ANDROID
- Download and install Wi-Fi Analizer.
- Open the app, tap the “View” menu, and select “AP list”. At the top of this screen, you’ll see a “Connected to: [Network Name]” header. Tap that and a window will appear with more information about your network. You’ll find the router’s address to the right of “Gateway”.
CHROME OS
- Click the notification area at right side of your taskbar, click the “Connected to [Network Name]” option in the list, and click the name of the wireless network you’re connected to.
- Click the “Network” tab when the network information appears and look at the address to the right of “Gateway”.
LINUX
This information is usually quite easy to find from a Linux desktop, too. Most Linux desktops will have a network icon in their notification area. You should usually be able to click this network icon and select “Connection Information” — or something similar. Look for the IP address displayed next to “Default Route” or “Gateway”.
This is a common problem when Gogogate2 does not detect your network's encryption properly. In order to get this issue resolved, we recommend changing network settings from "Automatic" to "Manual Mode".
- Press the RESET button until you hear 3 beeps (this will do a factory reset)
- Wait for the STATUS light (1-2 min)
- Connect your phone to the “GoGoGate” network.
- Open Gogogate 2 app -> ADD -> BEGIN YOUR INSTALLATION -> In STEP 3 select MANUAL:
- CONFIGURATION MODE: Choose MANUAL.
- ENCRYPTION MODE: Choose the type of encryption used by your Wi-Fi network. To check encryption, please check on the link.
- AUTOMATIC OR STATIC IP: Choose DHCP.
- SSID: Introduce the name of your Wi-Fi network, where you want to connect Gogogate2.
- WI-FI PASSWORD: Introduce your Wi-Fi network password.

B) Second Option:
- Access your router using a web browser.
- Look for the IP address assigned to Gogogate2.
