How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: If you smell burning or see smoke, disconnect power immediately and contact a professional.
Steps to mitigate overheating:
- Relocate thermostat: Move the thermostat away from radiators, TVs, or direct sunlight to a cooler, shaded interior wall.
- Improve ventilation: Do not enclose the gateway in a cupboard or behind other electronics. Allow air circulation around it.
- Check power supply: Ensure the correct power adapter is used and that it is not overheating.
If overheating persists in a suitable location, the device may have an internal fault and should be replaced.
