🔌 PowerTemp Gateway Setup (LoRaWAN Gateway)

Don’t Press the small RESET button - This will clear the PathSpot configurations of the Gateway and will no longer be able to connect

If Pre-Configured by PathSpot (non-standard):

  1. Power Up: Plug the Gateway into a power outlet near your Wi-Fi router to ensure a strong signal.

  2. Wait for Connection: Allow the light to turn solid green, indicating a successful connection.

  3. Completion: Once the light is solid green, the setup is complete.

If the light doesn’t turn solid green and continues to flash, please contact PathSpot Support or follow the step-by-step instructions in the section below. 

If Not Pre-Configured: Partner Configured Gateways (Standard):

  1. Prepare for Setup: Locate the Wi-Fi password on the back of the Gateway; you'll need this for the next steps. For any gateway that has an EUI preceded by GUS the password will be Pathspot (case-sensitive).  This will  be clearly marked on the gateway(s) and included in the accompanying setup instructions.

  2. Power On: Plug the Gateway into a power outlet near your Wi-Fi router.

  3. Enter Setup Mode: Press and hold the setup button for 10 seconds until the light starts flashing orange.

  4. Connect to MiniHUB Network: Using your phone or computer, connect to the Wi-Fi network named MiniHUB-XXXXXX    or   TBHM###-XXX.

    1. The password to connect will be provided by your Customer Success Manager (CSM). You can also find it on the back of the gateway, following the WiFi Password. For any "GUS"-branded gateways, the password will be "Pathspot". You can identify these by the materials provided or the sticker on the gateway itself.

    2. If you do not see the network, please ensure a 2.4GHz (not 5GHz) network option is available to connect. 
    3. If the Wi-Fi network you're trying to connect to redirects users to a login page (captive portal) or requires a username and password, you won't be able to connect.
  5. Access Configuration Page: Open a web browser and go to http://192.168.4.1/. QR code below will also redirect you to the configuration portal.
  6. Select Wi-Fi Network: Choose your desired Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
    1. This page will not indicate if the password is correct or not, so make sure you are entering the correct password (Case Sensitive).
  7. Select Wi-Fi Network: Choose your desired Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
  8. Save and Reboot: Click 'Save' and allow the Gateway to reboot. The status light will flash between orange and green during this process.
    1. If it remains rapidly flashing in orange  (or between orange/green) for 10 min or more contact support@pathspottech.com.
    2. If the pairing fails, after 10 min the light remains flashing, please refer to the table below.
  9. Completion: Once the light turns solid green, the setup is complete.

Note: This device does support hidden networks; in such instance rather than selecting chose a network you can click set network



Confirming Gateway Connection: 

Gateway_Table
Do: Provide the gateway mac address to your IT team prior to connection.

Don’t:  Press the small RESET button -This will clear the PathSpot configurations of the Gateway and will no longer be able to connect

If all of the above steps fail and the gateway light doesn’t turn solid green, please contact support@pathspottech.com . Make sure you have the details of the troubleshooting steps followed.

LoRaWAN Temperature Sensor:

Note: Your sensor includes a USB-C probe designed for specialty use only. To activate this probe, please contact PathSpot Support at support@pathspottech.com . If you do not need the probe, simply discard it and ensure the blue connection cover is securely closed.

Pairing Sensors to Gateway 

Ensure the gateway light is solid green before attempting to connect the sensors. This indicates an active Wi-Fi connection, which is required in order to pair the sensors to the gateway.

On the LoRaWAN sensor(s), press and hold the button on the front of the sensor (circled above) until the light flashes green and then flashes red once. 

Contact support@pathspottech.com if no lights appear.


Mounting the sensors on your units: 

  • Best Placement: Install the sensor inside the unit near doors, as this area experiences the most temperature variation.
  • Preferred Installation Method: Use the provided zip ties for the simplest installation and easy replacement.
  • Alternative Installation: If zip ties are not an option, use the provided adhesive (Magnets available upon request). Before applying, thoroughly clean the surface with a degreaser or your preferred cleaning product, then dry completely. Press and hold the sensor firmly in place for 30 seconds to ensure a secure bond. 

(Optional) Using the USB-C Probe:

  • If you plan to use the probe, please notify the PathSpot team. Otherwise, discard it.
  • To use the probe, connect it to the sensor via the USB-C port at the bottom.
  • Secure the probe cable with a zip tie or bread tie to keep it tidy and prevent cross-contamination.

Confirm Sensor Pairing: 

Login to the PathSpot Dashboard (pathspot.app) and verify sensor connection on the Sensor Overview page. Sensors send a temperature reading every 20 min.

  • Grey Tile: Sensor is pending connection or it's been 3 days or more since the last reading.
    • If this is the case, long press the sensor button until the light flashes green and then flashes red once. 
    • If the sensor light doesn't turn on, contact support@pathspottech.com as a battery replacement might be needed.
  • Green Tile: Sensor is online and within set temp limits.
    • If limits have not yet been set please reference our alert configuration article. 
  • Red Tile: Sensor is online and currently out of range.


If a PathSpot HandScanner has also been installed, on the HandScanner screen, tap on “Sensor Overview”. Your connected sensors will display a temperature reading  (this can take up to 5-20 minutes after sensor pairing). 

Once your gateway is connected, you're ready to install and activate your sensors!
