17.2 Required Passwords
SunnyPortal Password
If you register a PV system in SunnyPortal, you must specify a SunnyPortal password during registration which you will
use to log in to SunnyPortal.
SunnyPortal password requirements:
☐ The SunnyPortal password must contain at least 10 characters and no more than 50 characters. The strict
rules previously stated apply.
System Password
All devices connected via Speedwire with the same password form a system. For this reason, a password used for all
devices in a system is called a system password. The system-specific password protects a system's communication.
You can only access the devices in your PV system via your communication product if all devices have the same
password.
You must define the system password in SunnyPortal when you register the SunnyHomeManager system. The system
password that you defined upon registration of the SunnyHomeManager is the password of the user group Installer.
System and installer password requirements:
The system-specific system password must consist of at least 8 characters and no more than 12 characters,
including
• at least a lowercase letter
• at least an uppercase letter
• at least a digit and
• at least one of the following permitted special characters: ? _ ! -
Password for Edimax radio-controlled sockets
The same password must be used for all Edimax radio-controlled sockets in the system that require a password. If there
are different passwords for the radio-controlled sockets, the SunnyHomeManager cannot control all radio-controlled
sockets.
Make sure that the shared password is entered at the following positions:
• In the separate Edimax app for each radio-controlled socket registered there
• In the SunnyHomeManager properties (see Section11.3.7, page58)
