3.1 Sunny Home Manager
3.1.1 Functions
The Sunny Home Manager is a device for monitoring PV systems and for controlling loads in
households with PV systems. The Sunny Home Manager carries out the following tasks:
• Read-out of energy meter data and data from SMA devices with BLUETOOTH or Speedwire
communication interface
• Sending of data to Sunny Portal
• Support for increased self-consumption
• Limitation of active power feed-in
• Implementation of grid management services via Ethernet-based communication
Read-out of Energy Meter Data and Data from SMA Devices with BLUETOOTH or
Speedwire Communication Interface
The Sunny Home Manager reads out the data of the connected energy meters and SMA devices.
The Sunny Home Manager is connected to the energy meters via network cables.
The Sunny Home Manager establishes the wireless connection to the BLUETOOTH devices
(e.g. SMA radio-controlled sockets) via BLUETOOTH.
The communication between the Sunny Home Manager and an SMA inverter is possible either via
BLUETOOTH or via Speedwire. It is not necessary for all inverters in a PV system to use the same
interface. The Sunny Home Manager can manage and regulate inverters with BLUETOOTH and
inverters with Speedwire as one PV system.
The Sunny Home Manager establishes the connection to Speedwire devices via a router/network
switch in the local network.
SMA inverters are either available ex works fitted with Speedwire or BLUETOOTH or they can be
retrofitted accordingly (see product page of the respective inverter at www.SMA-Solar.com).
Energy meter data from combined heat and power plants and other non-PV-specific generation plants
is not supported.
PV System Monitoring and Parameterization via Sunny Portal
Using Sunny Portal, the Sunny Home Manager enables monitoring of the system, a display of the PV
energy available over the course of the day, and a live display of all energy flows in the household.
Using Sunny Portal, and taking the different electricity prices into account, the Sunny Home Manager
provides recommendations for the prudent use of electrical energy.
