SMA Sunny Home Manager
The Sunny Home Manager is the ideal solution for simple plant monitoring and intelligent energy management. It provides remote monitoring via the SMA Sunny Portal and an overview of all the energy flows taking place in the household. It displays recommended actions and is able to control loads via SMA radio-controlled sockets automatically. The device learns the typical consumption pattern of the household and combines this information using a weather forecast prediction of the PV generation. As a result, the Sunny Home Manager enables a much higher proportion of generated electricity to be consumed on site and a highly efficient use of energy.
The Sunny Home Manager 2.0 includes an integrated Energy Meter to monitor the properties import/export.
Can be used in conjunction with Mennekes Amtron car charging points to provide optimal charging of EV's.
Current Transformer clamps can be used to simplify installation and are required for systems where the main AC supply exceeds 63A per phase.

SMA Energy Meter
The SMA Energy Meter is a fast bidirectional single or three phase meter used to measure power going in/out of the grid. It communicates these values quickly via Speedwire using standard Ethernet cable to the Sunny Home Manager, or to the Sunny Boy Smart Energy.This, in turn, facilitates optimal energy monitoring, effective load and battery management and reliable active power limitation at the grid feed-in point while taking self-consumption into account.
