• Determine where to install the Arduino IDE sources and libraries for the 1-channel gateway. Make that directory and create two subdirectories in that directory:
  • libraries
  • ESP-sc-gway
• Goto https://github.com/things4u/ESP-1ch-Gateway
• Download the Gateway software, click <Clone or download> and than <Download ZIP> to download to your computer
• Unpack the "src" folder and copy it to the "ESP-sc-gway" folder
• Unpack the "lib" folder and copy it to the "libraries" folder
• Open the ESP-sc-gway.ino file in the Arduino IDE
• Set the libraries directory in the Arduino IDE. Select <File><Preferences>  and set the libraries folder to the folder where you stored the obraries folder in. For example D:\GitHub\ESP_git\ (Remember you have to specify one folder "higher")
• Make the Arduino IDE builds the software and uploads to the device
