Coupling the heat pump via EEBus

While SEMP devices such as the SMA eCharger are automatically connected and displayed, EEBus devices must be actively paired.

  • This setting is only possible under Complex configuration.

The following steps are required for pairing the devices:

  • Activating EEBUS

    • Activate EEBus protocol on Sunny Home Manager.

    • Activate EEBus in the loads (see manufacturer's manual).

  • Pairing EEBus devices
    This pairing must be performed separately for each individual load.

    • Pair the Sunny Home Manager to the load via EEBus.

    • Pair the load with the Sunny Home Manager via EEBUS (see manufacturer's manual).

Requirements:

  • The Sunny Home Manager and the loads must be operational and connected to each other via a router in the same local network.

  • Some loads require that the security key "SKI" (Subject Key Indentifier) of the Sunny Home Manager is known when pairing. You can find the SKI device identifier of the Sunny Home Manager in Sunny Portal in the Device overview in the Properties on the Parameters tab of the Sunny Home Manager under EEBUS SKI device identifier.

Activating the EEBus Protocol

By activating the EEBus protocol, you enable devices with an EEBus interface to connect to the Sunny Home Manager. For more information on the EEBus protocol, please see https://www.eebus.org/

Procedure:

  1. Call up the Properties of the Home Manager under Configuration > Device overview in Sunny Portal.
  2. Click on [Edit] on the device tab.
  3. In the View line, click on Complex configuration.
  4. Go to SMA SMART HOME Settings and select Active under EEBUS protocol:.
  5. Activate EEBus in the loads (see manufacturer's manual).

Pairing EEBus devices

A time window of 2 minutes is available for pairing the devices.

Procedure:

  1. In the Sunny Home Manager, in the EEBUS protocol line, click on the info text --> Pairing EEBUS loads? and confirm the pairing in the pop-up window that opens with [Pairing].
  2. Then initiate pairing at the load within 2 minutes (see manufacturer's manual).
  3. In the case of the load, add the Sunny Home Manager as a known EEBus device. When prompted, enter or confirm the SKI device identifier of the Sunny Home Manager.
  4. The new load is displayed at Device Overview > Overview of New Devices in Sunny Portal.
  5. Add the new load to the system (see Sunny Home Manager operating manual).
  • The new load is automatically displayed on the page Load Overview and Planning.
    If necessary, you can use the button to open the Load characteristics page and make further settings.
