GoBright Advanced Gateway (AGW) Setup

The previous gateway models are the MGW211-DP24 and MGW211-DP28. This article is based on testing the AGW332-EU868 with firmware 1.0.0. We conducted these tests in August / September 2026. The GoBright Advanced Gateway is basically a solid piece of kit that hooks your devices upto the cloud. It makes sure all the data syncs perfectly and keeps your smart workplace online without any hiccups. Planning Your Installation ▼ When figuring out where to put your gateway, keep an eye out for things that can block the signal—like thick concrete walls, metal objects, elevators, and stairs. If you hit any dead zones, you might need to reposition the gateway or add an extra device to make sure the whole building gets solid coverage. Please see the GoBright Planning & Deployment guide here. Important: You must be an administrator on the GoBright portal to ensure you can complete the following steps. The GoBright mobile app is required (Android or iOS) and it needs to be running the latest version. Checklist ▼ ✓ A smartphone with the GoBright app installed. This is available for free from both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. ✓ Full admin access rights for your GoBright account that is logged in on on the app. ✓ Bluetooth enabled on the smartphone. Hardware Overview & Tech Specs ▼ The Small Antenna This is used for Wi-Fi communication and both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz are now supported. The Large Antenna This is used for any communication if LoRa sensors are being deployed. So far we have tested the Elsys LoRa Desk Sensor (EMS2) and the Elsys LoRa Room Sensor (ERS2). Hardware Information & Tech Specs Model Tested: AGW332-EU868 RF / Sensor Frequency: 868 MHz (EU868) dedicated LoRa band for long-range, encrypted sensor telemetry Wireless: Dual-band Wi-Fi: 2.4 GHz & 5.0 GHz Wired: RJ45 (ETH0, ETH1) Bluetooth: Built-in (for use in the commissioning process) Power Options: PoE+ (at 30W) which must be powered via the ETH0 port. Mains powered option available LED Indicators: Multiple LEDs to confirm the state of the device Security: End-to-end cloud encryption as standard, including hardware level packet filtering Prepare your GoBright Environment ▼ Before you begin commissioning the AGW, there's a few steps that you'll need to carry out in the GoBright portal. We'll guide you through them in this section.1) Login to your GoBright portal with administrator rights using this link. 2) Navigate to Settings > Devices > Profiles and select Add3) Change the the Type to Advanced Gateway, give it an appropriate name and save the settings4) On the same page, select Commissioning Presets and add a new preset. Give the preset a name(this will be shown in the next steps when we commission the AGW). Change the Type to Advanced Gateway and select the previous profile you've just set up5) Complete the required Connection and NTP settings. During our testing we enabled automatic NTP (via DHCP)6) Save the changes and you will see the new commissioning presetNow we can move on to the next step to commission the AGW. Commissioning The AGW ▼ As mentioned in the tech specs, the AGW is powered by PoE+ at 30W and must be powered via the ETH0 port. Do not use ETH1. A 230V power supply is not included as standard and must be purchased seperately. Please speak to your Ascentae Account Manager when ordering the AGW to make it clear that you require a mains power supply if you're not powering the device over PoE. Let's Get Started... 1) Make sure that the toggle switch on the top of the gateway is toggled off of 'boot' (toggle switch flicked towards the Ethernet ports). 2) Plug the PoE cable into ETH0 on the AGW. At this stage, please be patient as it can take around 10 minutes to complete the boot cycle. During this stage the LEDs will flash different colours and patterns until it settles down. 3) Now the device has booted, it's ready to commission - it will show a blue slow blink. This means it's in 'discovery mode'. 0 Discovery mode only remains active for up to 10 minutes and will require a reboot of the AGW if left longer. 4) At this stage we now need to fire up the GoBright app. Select the 3 horitzontal lines in the top-right and then Admin Tools and Commission a Gateway by QR Code.5) Select the pre-configured commissioning preset 6) The next step is to scan the QR code on the rear of the AGW. Complete all the required fields and move on to the next step. Shortly you will see the following screen confirming connectivity:7) After around 30 seconds the AGW will update to show two solid green LEDs. See the next section for a breakdown of the different LED colours. LED Indicators ▼ The AGW gives a clear indication of the status of the device.  Portal Information & Summary ▼ Now you have an active Advanced Gateway set up in your portal. Just head to Settings > Devices > Gateways.Here you can remotely:See and update the firmare the device is runningFind the serial number of the deviceConnection statusLocal IP address allocated to the AGW Technical Support ▼ We're here to help.

Elsys LoRa Room Sensor (ERS2)

Overview & Battery Information ▲ The ERS2 is a wireless LoRaWAN® sensor for indoor environments that measures temperature, humidity, light, and motion (PIR).  This article provides an overview of the Elsys ERS2 LoRa only, the ERS CO₂ LoRa sensor is not covered. As you're are deploying these in your smart office in combination with the GoBright solution, please ensure you have the GoBright AGW installed. This article covers the AGW. Important: Batteries are not included. The ERS2 requires 2 x AA 3.6V lithium batteries. Standard 1.5V batteries are not supported and will not power the device. Calculate the battery life for your device Buy batteries direct from Elsys When using the recommended batteries, you can expect a battery life of up to 5 years, depending on usage. Checklist ▼ ✓ A smartphone with the GoBright app installed. This is available for free from both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. ✓ Full admin access rights for your GoBright account. ✓ The GoBright advanced gateway (AGW) that has been configured and commissioned. We've put together a full guide of how to get up and running in this article. ✓ Bluetooth and NFC enabled on the smartphone. Recommendations & Info ▼ The sensor has a detection range of up to 5 meters for human presence detection.Calculate the amount of sensors you'll need based on the area coverage.Do not place the sensors near windows (avoid sunlight).Do not place the sensors near HVAC systems as this will result in false occupancy detections and any temperature measurements. Dimensions ▼ All dimensions shown below are in mm.  Physical Installation ▼ Ensure the backplate is securely fixed to the wall with at least 2 suitable screws & plugs, depending on the surface.Now the backplace is securely in place, clip on the sensor. LED Status' ▼ The LED indicator is located on the bottom -right (bottom-left if you're looking at the circuit board) and flashes every 30 seconds once powered up.Here's a breakdown of the LED colour status:LED ColorLED IndicationActionLong red blink, long green blinkSensor is starting upShort yellow blinkLoRa join request transmissionShort green blinkLoRa uplink transmission Short red blinkSensor failed to send an uplink. Common cause is duty cycle limits.Long blue blinkSensor has loaded new configuration from NFC. Configuring The GoBright Portal ▼ In this section we'll guide you through adding the device to the GoBright portal. 1. Load the GoBright app on your smart phone and select Admin tools from the menu option in the top-right corner. 2. Select LoRa Sensors and then Commission a Sensor.3. Select Elsys4.Tap your phone on the front of the sensor. It will automatically read the data from the device and show the serial number (Device EUI).5. Link the device to an appropriate room/ desk.6. Select 'Save' .7. You'll be prompted to scan the device again, so tap your phone on the sensor. The PIR on the device will flash green to show a successful pair and then it'll quickly blink green every 60 seconds.Now you have the sensor commissioned.  You can view the devices under the Admin Tools section on the GoBright app:You can also view the sensors on the GoBright portal under Settings > Devices > Sensors:  Technical Support ▼ We're here to help.
