Activating Data Acceptance


You can set whether or not Sunny Portal should accept and display data of the devices integrated in the system.

Only if you enable the data collection for a device, can Sunny Home Manager capture and use the data of this device for monitoring, forecast and control.

The device must not be the Sunny Home Manager.

Requirement:

You must Activate data collection:

  • for Inverters:
    if you want to monitor the power of an inverter (and thus the system) or compare yields of different inverters to each other

  • for radio-controlled sockets/relays and for Smart appliances:
    if you would like to control loads indirectly or directly via the interface included in the device

  • for other connected devices:
    if they are to be displayed in the portal.

In the following cases, you must deactivate the data collection of a device in Sunny Portal:

  • You no longer wish to display the device in Sunny Portal
    or

  • You have removed the device from your PV system
    or

  • You would like to replace the device in Sunny Portal by another device.

The data of the deactivated device is retained in Sunny Portal and remains visible on the menu page Evaluation.

Procedure:

  1. Call up the device properties of the required device in the menu Device overview.
  2. Select [Edit].
  3. Place a checkmark in the field Active under Data collection to activate data collection.
  4. Remove the checkmark in the field Active under Data collection to deactivate data collection.
    If data collection has been Deactivated for a device, the device is not listed in the device overview with the filter setting Active.
  5. Click on [Save].
