Selecting the Load Type

Self-configured

You configure the connected load individually. With this type of load, you must also state whether the load is program-controlled or if its operation can be interrupted at any time.

Example of program-controlled load: dryer

Example of load where operation can be interrupted: pond pump

Direct communication

The load is connected via network cable or WLAN to the local network in which the Sunny Home Manager is also located. Thus, the load can automatically send information on its energy requirement and consumption to the Sunny Home Manager and it can also receive switch-on and switch-off commands from the Sunny Home Manager.

You do not need to make any configuration settings in Sunny Portal. If necessary, settings must be made on the product itself in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Energy monitoring (measuring only)

Only the power consumption of the connected load is to be measured.
(e.g. radio-controlled socket devices that permanently consume electric current, such as a refrigerator or devices in standby mode)

Washing machine
Dish washer
Stiebel Eltron WWK 300/ WWP300
Tecacolor TTA 300 heating element
Heat pump SG Ready

A preconfigured profile is stored for these loads.
Some settings (e.g. program controllability) are blocked because they are not configurable for the relevant device.

You can use the preconfigured profile or configure the device yourself.
