Setting Measuring and Switching of the Assigned Device
As soon as you have assigned a switching device to a load, you must specify whether this switching device is to only switch the load on and off or whether the energy demand of the load is to be measured as well.
These two options are explained in the table below:
Setting | Explanation |
|---|---|
The assigned device is to measure and switch (intelligent power consumption) | The load draws electric current via the switching device. Using the consumption values measured by the switching device, the Sunny Home Manager "learns" how much power the load typically consumes. Sunny Home Manager uses this information for load planning and load control. |
The assigned device is only to switch, not measure (fixed power consumption) | The load is switched e.g. via a relay which is connected to the radio-controlled socket. Using the connected relay, the radio-controlled socket switches the load only in accordance with the configuration (time period) and the specifications of the Sunny Home Manager. The value that is entered in the field Power Consumption is the power consumption factored in for planning the load. |
Procedure:
- In the drop-down list Measuring and switching, select the required setting.
