To enable gateway go to More tab, Network Setup and select Gateway. Tap on the gateway button to enable gateway on the device.
The device working as a gateway needs to have a WiFi or a mobile data connection as well as a Bluetooth connection enabled. The second device can now get a connection to the gateway device via the cloud as long as it has a WiFi connection or a mobile data connection.

- Casambi app is always open in the gateway device, at least in the background.
- Gateway device has a reliable internet connection at all times.
- Gateway device has a reliable Bluetooth connection to at least one Casambi unit in the network.
- Disable all automatic updates for the gateway device.
