SMA sunny home manager - Direct Control of Loads

• To have the load controlled again by the SunnyHomeManager after a manual
start, set the operating mode of the radio-controlled socket to Automatic (see
Section9.4, page90) and switch on the load.
☑ After the pond pump stops operating, the radio-controlled socket switches to Off
(automatic) mode. The pond pump is restarted during the next time period.
5. If the pond pump is not to start during the next time period, set the radio-controlled socket to
Off (see Section9.2.6.1, page77).
9.5 Directly Controlling Loads
Controlling Smart Appliances
Some loads can communicate directly with the SunnyHomeManager. You will find a list of
supported products in the SunnyHomeManager installation manual.
The loads send information via Ethernet on the load type, the planned energy requirement, and the
preferred operating time period to the SunnyHomeManager.
The SunnyHomeManager factors this information into its load control, and also taking the
configured optimization targets you configured in the context of load control, sends appropriate
start and stop signals to the loads.
Requirements:
☐ You must have the user role Installer or PV System Administrator (see Section13.1,
page120).
☐ The load must support the data exchange protocol defined by SMA Solar Technology AG
(see the manual of the load).
Procedure:
1. Connect the load either directly or via an appropriate gateway to the local network in which
the SunnyHomeManager is located.
☑ The SunnyHomeManager detects the new load in the local network.
☑ The load is displayed on the page Device Overview > Overview of New Devices.
2. Use the configuration wizard to add the load to the SunnyHomeManager system as a system
extension. In the case of loads with optional energy consumption, you can also set the priority
and the maximum permissible energy costs.
☑ The new load is automatically displayed on the page Load Overview and Planning
with the available information and setting options.
3. Change the load name if necessary (see Section9.3.6, page82).
Controlling Miele Devices Using the Miele@home Gateway
Miele@home is a system for the automatic control of Miele devices. The SunnyHomeManager can
control supported Miele devices directly by communicating with a Miele@home gateway and
thereby optimize self-consumption.
The SunnyHomeManager recognizes the Miele device automatically. All other settings must be
configured on the Miele devices.
