Overview load balance and control
Requirements for displaying the page:
The diagrams and tables on this page provide an overview of the operating time, operating duration and energy consumption of the loads controlled by the Sunny Home Manager as well as the energy mix used (from own PV generation and grid-supplied power).
For better assessment, the type of load is indicated for all loads ( > Selecting the Load Type). If No assignment is entered for a load in the column Type of load, this means that no load has yet been assigned to this switching device ( > Assigning a Load).
In the Configuration column, the gearwheel icon 
takes you directly to the Load properties tab (in the menu Configuration > Load overview and planning page), on which you can configure different details depending on the load type, such as the priority of the load ( > Configuring Load Characteristics).
Depending on the tab, the diagram and table show different views and data of the loads:
|
Currently | The following is required to display the tab Current:
Use energy meters recommended by SMA. Otherwise there may be a delay in the data being displayed in the Current tab.
The tab shows the following current data:
In the diagram:
In the table:
Load and type of load Operating Mode: Operating mode of the assigned device
The button of the currently selected operating mode is highlighted in color. In addition, the LED status is displayed via an LED symbol and the current status is explicitly stated.
The operating mode can be changed using the buttons.
If the operating mode is controlled via the Sunny Home Manager, (Automatic) appears behind the operating mode.
If the Sunny Home Manager has switched on a load connected via a radio-controlled socket, its start-up detection is locked for the duration of the program runtime ( > Enabling Start-up Detection for Radio-Controlled Sockets) and the following information is displayed: Automatic start-up detection is locked. Current value of consumption: Power currently being drawn by the load
|
Day | In the diagram:
With selected view Stacking order view ( ):
The lines below in the diagram show the progression of the power drawn by each load on the selected day. Via the legend below the diagram, you can show and hide the loads displayed in the diagram and change the stacking order of the loads in the diagram:
To hide a load, click on the required load. Loads that have been hidden will be displayed in gray in the legend. You can display the load again by re-clicking on the load. To show all loads that have been hidden, click on Show all below the legend. To display only the values for battery charging, overall consumption and purchased electricity in the diagram, click on Display standard below the legend. To change the stacking order in the diagram, select the required load and, holding down the left mouse button, drag it to the required position in the legend.
With selected view Time period ( ):
For loads that are to be controlled by the Sunny Home Manager via switching devices, you must configure time windows ( > Configuring the Time Period); loads that communicate directly with the Sunny Home Manager transmit their energy requirements automatically.
A thin line indicates that (in this time range) no time window is set. Bright bars indicate time windows that have either been configured for the operation of the load or that have been registered with the Sunny Home Manager for directly communicating loads to cover their energy demand. The energy demand is therefore registered in both cases, but the Sunny Home Manager has not switched on the load (e.g. due to the weather forecast). Dark-colored bars show the time periods for which the loads were actually in operation. Additional play and stop icons indicate the exact time at which the Sunny Home Manager has switched the load on or off.
If you move the mouse pointer over one of the dark-colored bars, the energy consumed by the load in this time period is displayed in kWh.
In the table:

Month | In the diagram:
Energy drawn by each load in the selected month in days
If you move the mouse pointer over one of the bars in the diagram, a window opens with the following information:
The respective daily consumption of the loads operated on that day The respective percentage of the daily consumption which was covered by PV energy ( ), battery discharging ( ) or by the utility grid ( )
In the table:
Load and type of load Monthly consumption: Energy drawn by the load in the selected month PV energy percentage: Percentage of the monthly consumption covered by PV energy Only for systems with battery: Battery discharging percentage: Percentage of the monthly consumption covered by battery discharging Purchased electricity percentage: Percentage of the monthly consumption covered by the utility grid Configuration
|
Year | In the diagram:
In the table:
Load and type of load Annual consumption: Energy drawn by the load in the selected year Only for systems with battery: Battery discharging percentage: Percentage of the annual consumption covered by battery discharging PV energy percentage: Percentage of the annual consumption covered by PV energy Purchased electricity percentage: Percentage of the monthly consumption covered by the utility grid Configuration
|
Total | In the diagram:
In the table:
Load and type of load Total consumption: Total energy drawn by the load so far PV energy percentage: Percentage of the total consumption drawn from PV energy Only for systems with battery: Battery discharging percentage: Percentage of the total consumption drawn from battery discharging Purchased electricity percentage: Percentage of the total consumption drawn from the utility grid Configuration

Open-loop control | This tab represents the table of the tab "Current", i.e. identical data are shown; the graphic is missing here compared to the tab "Current". |
