SMA sunny home manager - Dishwasher Start-Up Detection

9.3.13 Setting Start-Up Detection for a Dishwasher
The start-up detection can only be set for the load type Dishwasher. With other program-
controlled loads, the power consumption right after switch-on is normally too low for start-up
detection.
With start-up detection, you no longer have to manually set the radio-controlled socket to the
operating mode Automatic. This is an advantage, for example, if the radio-controlled socket is
difficult to access behind the dishwasher.
With start-up detection activated, the radio-controlled socket detects when the dishwasher starts a
program and switches the dishwasher off again instantly. Then, the SunnyHomeManager can
schedule the dishwasher into the load control accordingly and at the appropriate time switch the
dishwasher back on automatically via the radio-controlled socket.
SunnyHomeManager blocks start-up detection for the duration of the load's maximum program
operating time in order that the program can run without interruption even with fluctuations in the
power consumption of the load. You specify the maximum program runtime when configuring the
load (see Section9.3.8, page82).
If you wish to start the load even though start-up detection is activated, you must set the operating
mode of the radio-controlled socket to On (e.g. by activating the touch key on the radio-controlled
socket, via the SunnyPortal mobile app or in SunnyPortal via the page Load Balance and
Control, tab Current). This way, the load can start immediately and, in the radio-controlled socket,
the start-up detection is blocked again for the duration of the maximum program operating time so
that the load program can run without being interrupted by the start-up detection.
Requirements:
☐ The load must be a dishwasher.
☐ The SMAradio-controlled socket must have at least firmware version 12.12.113.R. You can
read off the firmware version via the parameter Software package (see Section8.5,
page68).
If you have integrated an SMAradio-controlled socket with a firmware version lower than
12.12.113.R into the PV system, the SMAradio-controlled socket will receive the newest
firmware version within 24 hours.
☐ The radio-controlled socket must be in the operating mode On.
Procedure:
1. In the field Start-up detection, activate the checkbox Active.
2. If required, in the text field Power threshold for detection, adjust the preset threshold for the
power consumption of the load during start-up (refer to the load manual for information on
power consumption during start-up).
3. If required, in the text field Detection time, adjust the preset time period over which the
threshold of the power consumption must be exceeded before a start-up of the load is
detected.
