Overview

The Gustavus network supports most, but not all, smart devices and options.

Details

Gustavus uses an enterprise network, which may cause conflict with certain smart device models or features. Devices that use a wireless network to control another device may not be supported. Devices can be connected to Gustavus, GustavusLegacy, or an Ethernet connection, depending on the needs and capabilities of the device. There is no registration needed for these devices when using the Internet.
