Vimar Idea View Wireless IoT Gateway, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 100-240V, 2 Modules, IP40

Overview

The Vimar Idea View Wireless gateway is a flush-mounted 2-module control bridge that links compatible View Wireless devices to the View App, cloud access, and voice assistant control over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It runs on 100 to 240 V AC at 50/60 Hz and carries an IP40 rating for protected interior spaces.

On board, this fits boats with an AC electrical system where lighting scenes or other View Wireless functions need to be managed from a phone or tablet instead of only from the wall point. One gateway can handle up to 64 devices, which gives it enough headroom for anything from a small cabin refit to a more connected interior layout across salon, cabins, and protected helm areas.

Key features

• Bluetooth and Wi-Fi gateway for setup, supervision, and remote access within a View Wireless system
• Works with the View App and supports Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri
• 100 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz power input for installations with onboard AC service
• Supports up to 64 View Wireless devices on a single gateway
• Flush-mounted 2-module format within the Vimar Idea range
• IP40 protection for dry, protected interior mounting locations
• LED indication, built-in web server, radio interface, and firmware update capability

Variants

This gateway is offered in two color configurations within the Idea range.

The listed variants differ by color and part number. The gateway function, 2-module format, 100 to 240 V AC supply, and View Wireless connectivity stay the same across both versions.

• VM16497, Color Gray. Gray gives the front a darker look that blends well with darker switch trim and panel finishes.
• VM16497.B, Color Ivory. Ivory gives the front a lighter look that suits cabin panels and trim with a pale finish.

Compatibility and fit

This unit belongs in protected interior locations such as a cabin bulkhead, salon switch position, or another dry accommodation space. IP40 is suitable for enclosed areas, but it is not intended for open decks, lockers that take spray, or spaces exposed to washdowns or heavy moisture.

It is part of the Vimar Idea family, so fit and finish matter most on boats already using that series or on new panels built around Idea devices. Because it is flush-mounted and takes 2 modules, panel space and box depth should be checked before final placement.

Installation and setup

Commissioning and later changes are handled through the View Wireless app, which keeps setup work straightforward when a boat is being refitted in stages. Firmware can be updated later, and the LED indication helps during installation and troubleshooting.

This gateway is a good match for owners and installers adding app-based control to interior functions without running extra control cabling through finished joinery. Boats that run only 12 V or 24 V DC without a 100 to 240 V AC supply will need a different control path.
