9.3.5 Selecting Program Controllability
With load type Self-configured, you must specify whether the load must run predefined programs
or not.
Procedure:
• In the field Load is program-controlled, activate the required checkbox:
9.3.6 Entering the Load Name
Via the load name, you can identify the loads in the Sunny Home Manager system.
Load name requirement:
☐ The load name can have a maximum of 23 characters.
Procedure:
• Enter a load name in the Name of Load text field, e.g. Washing machine basement.
9.3.7 Entering the Power Consumption
The power consumption is the average power typically required by a load for operation (see load
manual).
The Sunny Home Manager takes account of this value in the initial calculation of the required energy.
Once the load provides measured values of its actual consumption during operation,
the Sunny Home Manager can determine a more precise power value after a learning phase.
This way, the Sunny Home Manager gradually improves its load planning and increases energy and
cost savings.
Procedure:
• Enter the power of the connected load in the text field Power Consumption.
Setting Explanation
Yes After the start, the load runs through a defined program. Interrupting the load
during the course of the program can affect the operation result and should
therefore be avoided.
Examples: dryer, toaster
No The load always carries out the same function during operation. Multiple
switching on and off per day does not cause any problems. The load does
not have to run permanently - as long as a minimum operation time per day
is achieved, interruption of operation has no negative effect on the function
being carried out.
Examples: pond pump, heating element, water heater
