5 Mounting and Commissioning Preparations
5.1 Commissioning the Plugwise Devices
You should commission all Plugwise devices prior to commissioning the Sunny Home Manager.
When doing so, you should first register all Plugwise radio-controlled sockets in the Plugwise app.
Later, you can transfer the desired Plugwise radio-controlled sockets/switches to the Sunny Home
Manager system during registration in Sunny Portal.
Retrofitting in an existing Sunny Home Manager system
Refer to Section (see Section9, page60) for information on how to retrofit Plugwise radio-
controlled sockets in an existing Sunny Home Manager system.
Procedure:
• Commission all Plugwise devices (see manufacturer's documentation). When doing so,
register the Plugwise radio-controlled sockets in the Plugwise app.
5.2 Preparing the BLUETOOTH Communication
5.2.1 Commissioning a BLUETOOTH PV System
All devices must be set to the same NetID so that the SMA BLUETOOTH devices in a PV system can
communicate with each other. The NetID is used to distinguish between PV systems using
SMABLUETOOTH located in close proximity to one another.
The NetID can be a number from 1 to 9 or a letter from A to F.
To make sure that you do not set a NetID which is already being used by another BLUETOOTH PV
system in the vicinity, you need to determine a free NetID prior to commissioning your BLUETOOTH
PV system.
Requirement for detecting a free NetID
You can only detect a free NetID using a computer with integrated BLUETOOTH or with a
BLUETOOTH stick (BLUETOOTH class1) and the software SunnyExplorer (see
SunnyExplorerhelp). You can obtain SunnyExplorer free of charge from the download area
at www.SMA-Solar.com.
Requirement for selecting NetID 1 as the NetID of the PV system
For BLUETOOTH devices, NetID1 is preset at the factory. If NetID 1 is set in the
SunnyHomeManager, it can connect to a maximum of one other device via BLUETOOTH or
Speedwire.
• If you would like to connect more SMA devices than one inverter and
oneSunnyHomeManager, select a NetID other than NetID1.
