## What is BEGA Gateway?

The BEGA Gateway app allows you to dim lights, switch sockets on and off, regulate shading, measure your power consumption and many other things.

The components form a wireless Zigbee network and can be operated by smartphone and tablet via the BEGA Gateway 70588. Of course you can still use all existing switches to turn your lights on and off.

Devices can also be grouped together and incorporated into scenarios of your choosing. With the push of a button you will experience the perfect feelgood atmosphere or the ideal working environment.

Using the "Leave home" scenario you can switch off all non-essential consumers. Existing switches and push buttons can be configured to switch on and off various other consumers, dimm the lights, recall scenes etc.

To be able to use the app you will require BEGA Gateway 70588 as well as an assortment of ZigBee components.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8.3 — 2019-12-12

New Features:
- For devices which support instantaneous demand (W) and accumulated energy consumption (Wh) you can now switch between the two by tapping on the value. Notice that some products will reset the accumulated energy consumption after a restart while others will maintain the value across restarts
- For devices that support energy consumption metering but don't support instantaneous power metering, aggregated energy consumption will be displayed by default
- Now honoring scaling factors for metering values (results in correct metering values for sengled bulbs and OBLO smart plugs, for instance)
- Aligned to new behavior of stacked views in iOS 13
- On the iPad, the navigation bar is shown automatically when the app starts in portrait mode. Also, tapping on the background image will show the navigation bar

Bug-fixes:
- Resolved an issue, which could result in connection problems when connecting to large facilities
- Rectified an error, which would result in scene push buttons not being detected properly
- Rectified an error, which would result in app crashes

### 1.8.0 — 2019-05-20

New Features:
- If there is only one facility available the app will automatically connect (one attempt)
- Display last activity time-stamp in detail views of the component list (for all devices) and tag devices with overdue inbound activity as "inactive"
- Devices, which have not been completely discovered will be tagged in the component list such that they can be manually rediscovered using the device synchronization feature (requires Gateway Firmware 2.0.3 or later)
- Manual device repair feature: Restore the configuration of a device based on its settings stored in the inventory. In the component list, swipe left on any row and tap on the gear wheel to start device synchronization in the direction from inventory to device. The opposite direction, refreshing the inventory based on actual device settings, is available by swiping down in the detail view of a component
- Let a device identify: In the component list, swipe left on any row and tap on the flag; all logical application endpoints will enter identify mode for 10 seconds. It is also possible to identify specific endpoints by swiping left on the particular endpoint in the detail view of the component and tapping on the flag. This feature is also available in the endpoint selection view presented when creating bindings or groups. It is also possible to identify an entire group by swiping left in the group list and tapping on the flag
- Now showing manufacturing date and software build identifier in the component detail view
- In the building control, unnamed devices will now be displayed using a placeholder assembled from the serial number (EUI-64) and logical endpoint number
 
Bug fixes:
- Rectified an error, which could result in duplicate entries in the inventory and as a consequence the inability to edit symbols
- Improved display of the temperature range for thermostats
- Rectified an issue, where the app could crash if the facility selection view was closed without an active selection
