With the announcement of its new smart home ecosystem, Sinopé Technologies officially became Canada’s largest smart home devices manufacturer, and the North-American company offering the broadest portfolio of energy-efficient smart home devices. The launch also included new products that will be available in the coming weeks and months, including a smart plug and a smart in-wall outlet, as well as a tank level monitor.
Another novelty that revolutionizes Sinopé Technologies’ offer is the arrival of the GT130 gateway, which finally allows connecting all Sinopé Zigbee devices to the popular Neviweb app.
The GT125 gateway is only compatible with Web Programmable devices. It uses a unique communication protocol designed by Sinopé Technologies named “Mi-Wi”.
The GT130 gateway uses the Zigbee communication protocol, which is a standard protocol widely used in North America and around the world. The GT130 hub is used to control Zigbee devices designed by Sinopé Technologies. It could potentially be used to control Zigbee devices designed by other companies.
The GT130 gateway allows integration with Amazon Alexa.
The GT125 gateway is only compatible with Amazon Alexa. It was intended to work with the Google Assistant. Unfortunately, shortly before the launch of the new Neviweb app, Google changed the compatibility settings. It was no longer possible for Web Programmable devices to be compatible with the Google Assistant.
However, users of the Web Programmable product line still have access to the features promised when they first bought their smart devices. Users even have access to a few bonuses – the app format now available, the compatibility Amazon Alexa, geolocation, and the integration with dynamic pricing programs.
The GT125 gateway controls Web Programmable devices, and the GT130 Gateway is compatible with Zigbee devices. It is possible to control all Sinopé smart devices in a single Neviweb account. However, Zigbee devices and those that are Web Programmable will not be able to interact in the same scenes or automations.
The technologies around the Internet of Things evolves in a fast-paced environment. In the past years, the Zigbee communication protocol has emerged as the one with the most promising evolution. Many significant companies support this protocol, including Amazon and SmartThings.
Sinopé Technologies chose the Zigbee communication protocol to develop its new ecosystem. There are many benefits to this transition, including the possibility to grow the Sinopé product portfolio more quickly and ultimately facilitating interaction with non-Sinopé branded Zigbee devices.
To learn more about this communication protocol, check out our smart home glossary.
The GT130 gateway is compatible with a broader variety of devices. In addition to all thermostats, switches, dimmers, and load controllers, Sinopé Technologies offers several new products.
Besides, the use of the Zigbee protocol has certain advantages, including dynamic communication between the devices and the possibility of compatibility and interoperability with products from other manufacturers.
Web Programmable devices will continue to be supported by Sinopé Technologies. They will not become obsolete or slow. However, Sinopé Technologies will no longer develop new Web Programmable devices. Thus, these will be available for purchase while supplies last.
I use Neviweb and a GT130 Gateway to control a load center and several thermostats. I also need to control a Schlage zigbee smart door lock. Will Neviweb and the Gt130 ever be able to control non-Sinope devices? Also, when will the Sedna water valve be released in a zigbee version?
Hi Will,
Thank you for your question! For the moment, only Sinopé’s Zigbee devices are compatible with the GT130 gateway, and there are no short-term plans to support smart devices from other companies. As for the valve, there is already a Zigbee version available on our website: https://www.sinopetech.com/en/product/sedna-smart-water-valve-%c2%be-po-1-po-2nd-gen-zigbee/
If you have any question or for more assistance, we invite you to contact our sales team by email at sales@sinopetech.com or by phone at 1-855-741-7701.
Thanks,

Bonjour, j’ai des gradateur Control4 APD-120, est-ce qu’ils seront compatibles avec la passerelle GT130?
Bonjour Véronique,
Merci pour votre question et pour votre intérêt envers nos produits! Malheureusement, vos gradateurs ne sont pas compatibles avec la passerelle GT130 puisque cette dernière est uniquement compatible avec nos appareils Zigbee.
Pour toute autre question sur nos appareils ou sur leurs compatibilités, nous vous invitons à communiquer avec notre équipe des ventes par courriel au ventes@sinopetech.com ou par téléphone au 1-855-741-7701. Merci!
Bonjour, j’ai présentement 3 thermostats, 2 prise branchables et 1 prise dans le mur. Le tout fonctionne très bien avec la GT130. J’essaie de connecté un gradateur DM2500ZB et ça ne fonctionne pas. J’ai approché la passerelle à 1 pied du gradateur et rien ni fait. Au bout de 10 secondes, le témoin flashe 3 fois en rouge et une fois en bleu et ensuite plus rien. Pouvez-vous m’aider?????
Bonjour Robert,
Merci pour votre question! Afin de pouvoir vous accompagner adéquatement dans le processus de connexion de votre gradateur, nous vous conseillons de communiquer avec notre équipe de support technique par courriel à support@sinopetech.com ou par téléphone au 1 855 741-7701. Ils se feront un plaisir de vous assister.

Is there an advantage to purchasing the GT130 if I am using Samsung SmartThings hub? Seems like the neviweb app does not interact with SmartThings?
All of my floor and baseboard ZB thermostats show up in SmartThings, but not sure if I am missing anything in terms of historical graphs, automations, updates to firmware, etc.
Hello Nick,
Thank you for your question! You can add our devices to your Samsung SmartThings Hub, but you won’t have access to all the features available with Neviweb. Features vary from a platform to another. You won’t have access to the energy consumption reports in the SmartThings app. Also, you cannot add a thermostat to two different gateways.
To get all the features, we recommend adding the Sinopé thermostats to the GT130 gateway and controlling them via the Neviweb app.

Hello, I own a GT130 and 12 TH1123ZB Zigbee thermostats. 2 thermostats display a software version of 0.4.3, whereas the others are at software version: 0.6.4. Can the 2 lagging be updated through the GT130, and if yes, what is the procedure to folllow? Thanks.
Hello Emmanuel,
Thank you for your question! How long have you been using the GT130 hub? The updates should automatically come through the GT130. If you use the GT130 since you have installed your thermostats, please contact the tech support team by email at support@sinopetech.com or 1 855 741-7701. Our tech support team will be more than happy to help you to update your two thermostats.
Thanks,

Bonjour,
J’ai été toujours un gros fan de vos produits.. J’ai codé votre API pour Openhab (open source) https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/tree/2.5.x/bundles/org.openhab.binding.sinope
J’ai des gens qui m’ont contacté qui ont plus d’une quinzaine de devices.
Ça fait plus de 7 mois que votre GW Zigbee est sorti. Est-ce qu’il y a une chance de voir un API de dispo?
Bonjour Pascal,
Merci pour votre question. Présentement, nous n’avons pas d’API pour l’exploitation résidentielle de la passerelle GT130. Nous avons un API payante exclusive pour l’exploitation commerciale du GT130.
Merci,

integration with Smart Meters and/or circuit monitoring.
I understand that the BC hydro smart meters has a ZigBee 1.1b connection for local access. I just signed up for the BC hydro load demo program with your load controller for my water heater – works great by the way! I would be a real selling feature for BC residents if you could integrate into this like rainforests products and show total electricity usage on your Neviweb software.
Better even yet – it would be great if you could develop a ZigBee electricity meter – there are wifi enabled products out there with clamps for monitoring 8 circuits in the electrical panel. I would much prefer to have this all in one package – Neviweb software.
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your interest in our products. Many projects are underway at Sinopé Technologies. We shared your suggestions with our research and development team.
Best regards,

Bonjour
Y a -til un log dans le GT130 de tous les événements ?
Lorsque j’arrive à la maison il y a des thermostats de démarrés et je n’arrive pas à trouver l’automatisation qui a causé le démarrage des thermostats ?
Bonjour M. Trudel,
Avez-vous activé la fonctionnalité de géorepérage ? Si oui, ce sont les automatisations de présence qui activent vos thermostats lorsque vous franchissez la zone que vous avez préalablement déterminée. La fonctionnalité de géorepérage permet de mettre un emplacement en mode présent ou absent automatiquement, ce qui active les consignes de vos appareils intelligents.
Merci,
L’équipe Sinopé
Do i still need the get the Gateway 130 for a thermostat if I’m using Samsung Smartthings?
Hi Comet,
No, you don’t need the GT130 gateway.

So the GT130 will allow web thermostats to have google home integration in the future?
Hi Joe,
Unfortunately, the Web Programmable devices are not compatible with Google Home.
The GT130 only works with Zigbee devices.
Thank you,
