12.4.2 Selecting the Load Type
Depending on the selected load type, you can display and configure different load properties on the tab. A
preconfigured load profile is stored for some load types. If you select such a load type, some settings are not
configurable.
Type of load Explanation
Self-configured You configure the connected load individually. With this type of load, you must also
state whether the load is program-controlled or if its operation can be interrupted at
any time.
Example of program-controlled load: dryer
Example of load where operation can be interrupted: pond pump
Direct communication The load is connected via network cable or WLAN to the local network in which the
SunnyHomeManager is also located. Thus, the load can automatically send informa-
tion on its energy requirement and consumption to the SunnyHomeManager and it
can also receive switch-on and switch-off commands from the SunnyHomeManager.
You do not need to make any configuration settings in Sunny Portal. If necessary, set-
tings must be made on the product itself in accordance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Energy monitoring (measur-
ing only)
Only the power consumption of the connected load is to be measured.
(e.g. radio-controlled socket devices that permanently consume electric current, such as
a refrigerator or devices in standby mode)
Washing machine
Dish washer

Heat pump SG Ready
A preconfigured profile is stored for these loads.
Some settings (e.g. program controllability) are blocked because they are not config-
urable for the relevant device.
You can use the preconfigured profile or configure the device yourself.
12.4.3 Selecting Program Controllability
☐ This option is only adjustable for the load type Self-configured.
