Measuring and switching
If a consuming device is connected to the Sunny Home Manager via a switching device with a measuring function, e.g., a radio-controlled socket, this can measure the energy consumption of the connected load and transmit it to the Sunny Home Manager. For this purpose, the switching device must be added as a device in the Sunny Home Manager system ( > Adding a Switching Device).
A radio-controlled socket cannot be used to measure the load's power consumption if it is controlled using a relay or contactor.
The Sunny Home Manager system can switch loads connected to the switching device on and off.
If a load is not assigned to a switching device, the Sunny Home Manager does not receive consumption data from this load, and it cannot control this load.
A load can either be permanently connected to the same switching device or to alternate switching devices. For each change, the load must be assigned to the new switching device.
Since the Sunny Home Manager does not receive any detailed data on loads if they are controlled via switching devices, you will need to make additional settings in the load profiles depending on the respective load type. Thus, the Sunny Home Manager can effectively schedule the loads and help save energy and costs.
