How to fix no Bluetooth connection to SMA Inverter PV plant devices?
- D
  Daniel GuerreroAug 20, 2025
  If there is no Bluetooth connection to the devices of the PV plant, commission the SMA Bluetooth devices. Ensure that the same NetID is configured on the Sunny Home Manager and the devices of the PV plant. If the Sunny Home Manager cannot establish a connection to the Bluetooth devices due to more than one additional master in the Bluetooth network, together with the Sunny Home Manager, use no more than one additional master in the Bluetooth network.

What to do if my SMA Inverter's Sunny Home Manager is too far from the plant?

  caseywilliamAug 26, 2025
  If your SMA Inverter's Sunny Home Manager is too far from your plant, or the Bluetooth connection is interrupted, it could be due to walls or ceilings absorbing the wireless transmission waves. To resolve this, try mounting the Sunny Home Manager nearer to a device in your plant. If that's not feasible, use an SMA Bluetooth Repeater, SMA Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor, or SMA radio-controlled socket with Bluetooth to close the dead zone.

  If some devices are shown with a warning symbol in the Plant Setup Assistant after entering the plant password, and these devices are inverters with Bluetooth Piggy-Back, select [Skip forward] in the Plant Setup Assistant and finish registration without selecting inverters. Once there is daylight and the inverters are on, log on to the Sunny Portal and add the inverters to the Sunny Home Manager plant as new devices using the configuration wizard.
