4.2 Radio-controlled socket
The SunnyHomeManager supports the following radio-controlled sockets:
• SMAradio-controlled sockets
• Plugwise radio-controlled sockets
4.2.1 Functions
The radio-controlled socket supports load control in households with SunnyHomeManager.
The radio-controlled socket carries out the following tasks:
• Implementation of Control Commands Issued by the SunnyHomeManager
• Measurement of the Energy Consumption of the Connected Load
Implementation of Control Commands Issued by the SunnyHomeManager
The SunnyHomeManager can switch the radio-controlled socket on and off. As a result, specific
electrical devices can be switched on if e.g. a lot of PV power is available.
At which times the SunnyHomeManager switches the radio-controlled socket on or off depends on
the configuration of the load and the current load planning configured in the
SunnyHomeManager.
Measurement of the Energy Consumption of the Connected Load
The radio-controlled socket measures the energy consumption of the connected loads and transmits
the measured values to the SunnyHomeManager. The SunnyHomeManager then transmits the
values to Sunny Portal, where you can visualize and control the energy flows in the household. You
can also register your system in the Sunny Places community portal and monitor your system,
compare it with other systems and share knowledge and experiences with other PV system
operators.
4.2.2 Plugwise Radio-Controlled Socket
Plugwise radio-controlled sockets can be used for load control in the energy management system.
The SunnyHomeManager establishes a secure data connection with the Plugwise Stretch for the
visualization and control of the Plugwise radio-controlled sockets. The Plugwise Stretch enables the
exchange of control commands and measured values between the SunnyHomeManager and
Plugwise radio-controlled sockets.
The Plugwise radio-controlled sockets and the Plugwise Stretch are available through the Plugwise
sales channels. The firmware version of the Plugwise devices must meet the minimum requirements
(see Section1.1, page6). Via the Plugwise app, parallel to the energy management you can use
the numerous house-automation functions (refer to the manufacturer's documentation).
The function and behavior of the SMA radio-controlled socket and the Plugwise radio-controlled
socket are identical.
