How to Pair Your adorne Smart Gateway with Netatmo – Step-by-Step Guide

The Legrand adorne Smart Gateway with Netatmo is the brain of your adorne smart home system. It connects your adorne switches, outlets, and dimmers to your home Wi-Fi network and the Netatmo cloud, enabling remote control, voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Apple HomeKit, and energy-saving schedules. Pairing the gateway correctly is essential to unlock all these features.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the entire pairing process—from unboxing and connecting the gateway to your router, to installing the Netatmo app, pairing the device, and adding your first adorne components. We’ll also share troubleshooting tips for common hiccups so you can enjoy a fully connected home without frustration.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

Before diving into the pairing process, gather the following items: your adorne Smart Gateway with Netatmo, the included Ethernet cable, a power adapter, a router with an available Ethernet port, and a smartphone running iOS or Android with the Netatmo Security app installed. You’ll also need your home Wi-Fi network credentials (SSID and password).

Make sure your router is operational and that your smartphone is connected to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band—the gateway only supports 2.4 GHz during initial setup. If your router uses a combined band (2.4/5 GHz), temporarily separate them or disable 5 GHz until pairing is complete.

• The gateway works exclusively with adorne devices, such as the adorne® Timer Switch, Manual On/Timed Off, Graphite, with Microban® and the adorne® 15A Dual Tamper-Resistant Plus-Size Outlet, White.



• Keep the gateway within 30 feet of your router for a stable wired or wireless connection—avoid metal cabinets or thick walls.

Step 1: Connect the Gateway to Your Router

Using the supplied Ethernet cable, connect one end to the Ethernet port on the back of the adorne Smart Gateway and the other end to an available LAN port on your router. Then plug the power adapter into the gateway and into a wall outlet. The LED on the front will start blinking orange, indicating it’s powering up and searching for a network connection.

Wait 30–60 seconds until the LED turns solid green. A solid green light means the gateway is now connected to your local network and is ready to be paired with the Netatmo app. If the light blinks red, check your Ethernet cable or try a different router port.

• For best results, use a Cat 5e or higher Ethernet cable—the gateway does not support wireless configuration at this stage.
• If your router is in a basement or remote area, consider using a powerline adapter to extend the Ethernet connection.

Step 2: Install and Open the Netatmo App

Download the Netatmo Security app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Once installed, open the app and create a Netatmo account if you don’t already have one. You’ll need a valid email address and a strong password. After logging in, the app will prompt you to add a new device. Tap the '+' icon and select 'Smart Gateway' from the list of compatible products.

The app will ask for permission to access your smartphone’s location and Bluetooth—grant these permissions, as they help the app discover nearby gateways. Bluetooth is used only during the initial pairing to exchange network credentials; it is not required for ongoing operation.

• Ensure your smartphone is on the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network you intend to use for the gateway.
• If you have a firewall or VLAN configuration, temporarily disable it to avoid blocking the gateway’s discovery protocol (mDNS).

Step 3: Pair the Gateway with Netatmo

After selecting 'Smart Gateway' in the app, the app will scan for nearby gateways. When it finds your gateway (listed as 'Legrand adorne'), tap on it. You’ll then be prompted to enter your Wi-Fi network’s 2.4 GHz SSID and password. Type them carefully and confirm. The app will send these credentials to the gateway via Bluetooth.

The gateway will reboot and attempt to connect to your Wi-Fi network. The LED will blink green during this process. Once connection is established, the LED will turn solid green and the app will show 'Gateway Connected'. This step typically takes 30–60 seconds. If the LED blinks red, double-check your Wi-Fi credentials or move the gateway closer to the router temporarily.

• If you have multiple adorne gateways, give each a unique name in the app (e.g., 'Living Room Gateway') to avoid confusion.
• The gateway’s Wi-Fi radio only uses 2.4 GHz for stability—your smartphone can still use 5 GHz after pairing.

Step 4: Add adorne Devices to Your Gateway

Once the gateway is online, the app will automatically prompt you to add adorne devices. You can add switches, outlets, dimmers, and other compatible components. For example, the adorne® Timer Switch, Manual On/Timed Off, Graphite, with Microban® can be added to control lights or fans on a schedule. Similarly, the adorne® 15A Dual Tamper-Resistant Plus-Size Outlet, White gives you remote on/off control for lamps or appliances.

To add a device, press and hold the reset button on the device for 5 seconds until its LED flashes rapidly. In the Netatmo app, tap 'Add Device' and follow the on-screen instructions. The app will search for the device and pair it to the gateway. Repeat this process for each adorne device you want to manage.

• Keep devices within 50 feet of the gateway for reliable communication over the proprietary RF protocol.
• If a device fails to pair, restart the gateway and try again—it ensures the RF channel is clear.

Step 5: Configure Schedules and Scenes

With your devices paired, you can now create schedules and scenes directly in the Netatmo app. For instance, set the adorne® Timer Switch to turn on your porch light at sunset and off at midnight. You can also group devices into 'Leaving Home' or 'Goodnight' scenes to control multiple devices with one tap or voice command via Apple HomeKit or Amazon Alexa.

The gateway supports firmware updates automatically when connected to the internet. Check the app’s settings tab to ensure you’re running the latest version. Regular updates add new features and improve security, so keep your gateway’s firmware current.

• Use the 'Auto Away' feature to turn off lights and outlets when no one is home—saves energy and enhances security.
• For advanced users, integrate with IFTTT to create custom automation triggers (e.g., flash lights when your doorbell rings).

Pairing your adorne Smart Gateway with Netatmo opens the door to a truly smart home where lighting, outlets, and timers work together seamlessly. Whether you want to schedule your adorne® Timer Switch for morning coffee preparation or remotely turn off a forgotten lamp via the adorne® 15A Dual Tamper-Resistant Plus-Size Outlet, this gateway makes it effortless. Start with the gateway, explore the Netatmo app, and transform your home into a connected haven.
