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
Please Reset the Gogogate2 after plugging in the new USB Wi-Fi. Press the black button on top of the Gogogate2 until it beeps 2-3 times, then wait until the green light is blinking and setup.
In case the GoGoGate Wi-Fi does not appear please disable your Mobile data (4G) or even turn off and on your phone. If it does not show, then the issue could be the Gogogate2.
If the Gogogate2 is still under warranty we would replace the whole unit, otherwise, please register here for a 15% discount.
The Gogogate2 is compatible with the connection via Ethernet with an adapter.
See here an example of an adapter that would work:
- USA: Ethernet adapter
- Australia (Pacific): Ethernet adapter
- Europe: Ethernet adapter
It would be necessary to replace the USB Wi-Fi with the Ethernet adapter. After plugging it in, please reset the Gogogate2 by pressing the black button on top until it beeps 2-3 times. Then wait until the Green light is blinking and setup (instead of choosing Wi-Fi choose Ethernet)
In case of any questions or issues do not hesitate to contact us at support@gogogate.com
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:
If you are setting up your Gogogate2 for the first time:
- Please be aware that the mobile data should be disabled to be able to connect to the Gogogate2 Wi-Fi.
- Sometimes this gets solved by turning off and turning on again your mobile phone.
- Please go to your phone's Wi-Fi settings and select forget the Gogogate2 Wi-Fi. Then try to reconnect.
If your Gogogate2 has been working until now, after resetting your phone does not connect to the Gogogate2 Wi-Fi, and the USB Wi-Fi adapter is not blinking:
- Please make sure that your Wi-Fi signal is strong enough, the instructions can be found here.
- Check if the Wi-Fi selected is the correct.
- If all the previous suggestions did not work please contact us at support@gogogate.com and we will do our best to solve this issue.
