8.7 Setting the Data Request Interval
The data request interval defines how often the SunnyHomeManager sends data to and requests
date from SunnyPortal.
SunnyPortal can only display current data of the SunnyHomeManager and switch radio-
controlled sockets if the data request interval is set to Automatic.
SMA Solar Technology AG only recommends setting the data request interval to Hourly or Daily
if your Internet connection is established via a GSM modem. This way, depending on your GSM
tariff, you will avoid additional costs.
Additional costs when using a cellular modem
If you set up the Internet connection using a cellular modem (e.g. a GSM modem), additional
costs can be incurred as a result of frequent data requests, depending on the mobile service tariff.
• When using a cellular modem, additional costs can be prevented by setting the data
request interval to Hourly or Daily.
• If you are not using a cellular modem, set the data request interval to Automatic.
