11.3.2 Setting Automatic Updates
If the automatic software update is activated, SunnyPortal regularly checks whether there are update files for the
SunnyHomeManager or for the PV system devices. If there are update files, these are automatically downloaded and
the devices are updated.
You can activate/deactivate the automatic software update for:
• SunnyHomeManager
• PV system devices
By default, the automatic software update is activated for the SunnyHomeManager and the devices in the PV system.
11.3.3 Enabling Speedwire Encryption
The Speedwire encryption lets you safely encrypt the local SMA system network with SEC (Speedwire Encrypted
Communication) and protect from unauthorized access.
The Speedwire encryption can only be enabled if all devices in the system support SEC (Speedwire Encrypted
Communication) and the devices can be accessed by the SunnyHomeManager.
Procedure:
1. Call up the Properties of the SMAHomeManager.
2. Select [Edit] on the device tab.
3. In the line Speedwire encryption enable the field Active.
4. Click on [Save].
If a new device is integrated into the system, this device must support encryption so that the encryption of the
system can be maintained. Speedwire encryption must be temporarily deactivated if a new encryption-capable
device is not displayed in the Overview of new devices. Once the new device has been added to the system,
encryption can be re-enabled.
If the Sunny Home Manager is reset when Speedwire encryption is activated, the encryption is deleted and thus
also the communication between the Sunny Home Manager and the Speedwire devices (see Section11.7.1,
page67). Therefore, deactivate Speedwire encryption before resetting the Sunny Home Manager.
