8.1 Detecting the Plugwise Radio-Controlled Socket with
the SunnyHomeManager
The Sunny Home Manager detects the Plugwise radio-controlled sockets via the Plugwise Stretch.
For this, you must perform a mutual detection of the SunnyHomeManager and the Plugwise
Stretch.
Procedure:
1. Press and hold down the button on the front of the Plugwise Stretch until the status LED on the
Plugwise Stretch has flashed twice, then release the button.
☑ The status LED on the Plugwise Stretch flashes green.
The detection mode of the Plugwise Stretch is active for five minutes. Within these five
minutes you must perform a "power cycle" for the Sunny Home Manager (power off,
power on). This will establish a stable data connection between the Sunny Home
Manager and the Plugwise Stretch. The Sunny Home Manager is connected to the
Plugwise radio-controlled sockets via the Plugwise Stretch.
2. Disconnect the SunnyHomeManager from the voltage supply and reconnect it to the voltage
supply:
• If the SunnyHomeManager is supplied with voltage via the plug-in power supply,
remove the DC plug of the plug-in power supply from the Power pin connector of the
SunnyHomeManager and plug it back into the Power pin connector. This will set the
SunnyHomeManager to the detection mode.
• If the SunnyHomeManager is supplied with voltage via a top-hat rail power supply unit,
remove the four-pole plug from the lower contact pin row (Meter 1, Meter 2, Meter 3)
on the SunnyHomeManager and plug it back into the same slot. This will set the
SunnyHomeManager to the detection mode.
☑ If the Plugwise Stretch status LED stops flashing before the five minutes have passed, the
detection was successful. The Plugwise radio-controlled sockets will be displayed in the
Sunny Portal PV System Setup Assistant.
8.2 Testing the Connection to SunnyPortal
The SunnyHomeManager automatically establishes a connection to SunnyPortal. You can test
whether there is a connection to SunnyPortal if you proceed as described in the following.
Requirements:
☐ DHCP must be activated on the router (see router manual). If your router does not support
DHCP, you can configure the static network settings on the SunnyHomeManager using the
SunnyHomeManagerAssistant (see Section10.4, page73).
☐ The SunnyHomeManager must be connected to the router (see Section7.4, page47).
☐ The SunnyHomeManager must be supplied with voltage (see Section7.6, page48).
