9 Retrofitting Devices
9.1 Retrofitting Plugwise Radio-Controlled Sockets
This section describes how to retrofit a Plugwise radio-controlled socket if no Plugwise radio-
controlled sockets are currently registered in the SunnyHomeManager.
If you already manage Plugwise radio-controlled sockets via the SunnyHomeManager and would
like to retrofit further Plugwise radio-controlled sockets, the new Plugwise radio-controlled sockets
must be detected by the SunnyHomeManager (see Section9.2, page61).
Procedure:
1. Commission all Plugwise devices (see manufacturer's documentation). When doing so, register
the Plugwise radio-controlled sockets in the Plugwise app.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the SunnyHomeManager from the voltage supply and reconnect it to the voltage
supply:
• If the SunnyHomeManager 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
SunnyHomeManager and plug it back into the Power pin connector. This will set the
SunnyHomeManager to the detection mode.
• If the SunnyHomeManager 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 SunnyHomeManager and plug it back into the same slot. This will set the
SunnyHomeManager 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 as new
devices in the SunnyHomeManager system in SunnyPortal.
4. Add the desired Plugwise radio-controlled sockets to the SunnyHomeManager system in
Sunny Portal and configure them (see the user manual "SunnyHomeManager in
SunnyPortal"). Configuring the Plugwise radio-controlled sockets is no different to configuring
the SMA radio-controlled sockets.
5. To operate certain Plugwise radio-controlled sockets via the Plugwise app and not via the
SunnyHomeManager, remove the desired Plugwise radio-controlled sockets from the
SunnyHomeManager system in Sunny Portal (see the user manual "SunnyHomeManager in
SunnyPortal"). The Plugwise radio-controlled sockets will then be displayed in the Plugwise
app without the locked symbol and can be operated via the Plugwise app.
