It scans for nearby BLE devices from supported partner networks and forwards their broadcasts to the associated network, extending ground coverage with hardware already in your pocket. HOW IT WORKS • Connect the app with the API token from your encryptedenergy.com gateway page • EE Gateway listens for nearby beacon broadcasts over Bluetooth • Each packet is stamped with signal strength and location, then relayed securely • Watch live status: devices heard, packets relayed, GPS quality, and a full diagnostics log FEATURES • Field Mode for dedicated scanning sessions requiring the most frequent scans • Best-effort background scanning while you move through the day • On-device diagnostics log with one-tap export • Fixed-location override for stationary indoor placements • Location is used only to geotag relayed packets. EE Gateway is the companion to the EE Gateway app for umbrelOS home servers. A free encryptedenergy.com account is required.
