What are the differences between the GT130 and GT125 gateways?

The GT125 and GT130 gateways differ primarily in their protocol: the GT125 uses Mi-Wi (proprietary), while the GT130 uses Zigbee (standard). The GT125 is compatible only with Mi-Wi devices, which are no longer sold, whereas the GT130 supports a wide range of Zigbee devices with advanced features. They can coexist, but their devices cannot communicate with each other. The GT130 is not a direct replacement for the GT125.

1. Communication protocol (main difference)

  • GT125: uses the proprietary Mi-Wi (Programmable Web) protocol
  • GT130: uses the standard Zigbee protocol

2. Device compatibility

  • GT125: compatible only with Mi-Wi (Web Programmable) devices
  • GT130: compatible with Sinopé Zigbee devices

3. Device Availability

  • GT125 :
    • Mi-Wi devices are no longer sold by Sinopé Technologies.
  • GT130 :
    • Zigbee thermostats
    • Switches and dimmers
    • Water heater controller
    • Load control
    • Smart plugs
    • Water leak detectors
    • Water valves
    • Tank monitor, etc.


4. Features and Automation

  • GT125:
    • remote control and basic programming
  • GT130:
    • advanced automation
    • better integration between devices
    • more modern features in the Sinopé Neviweb app

5. Compatibility between the two gateways

  • The two gateways can coexist within the same Sinopé Neviweb account

BUT :

  • Mi-Wi and Zigbee devices cannot interact with each other (e.g., shared automations).

6. Replacement

  • The GT130 does not directly replace the GT125.
  • Both are used to manage different types of devices.

In summary

  • GT125 = older generation (Mi-Wi), for existing devices
  • GT130 = new generation (Zigbee), for new products and advanced features

If you add new devices today, you will generally need the GT130, unless you opt for Wi-Fi devices which do not require a gateway.
