Communication

Router

A router/network switch connects the Sunny Home Manager via the Internet to Sunny Portal.

When using the Sunny Home Manager, SMA Solar Technology AG recommends a permanent Internet connection and the use of a router which supports the dynamic assignment of IP addresses (DHCP ‒ Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

The values measured by the integrated measuring device are also made available to other devices in the local network via the Ethernet connection of the Sunny Home Manager to the router.

SMA Energy Meter

An additional SMA Energy Meter must be located in the same local network as the Sunny Home Manager. The SMA Energy Meter must also be connected via a network cable either to the network switch or to the router with integrated network switch.

Cable types recommended for the network cable are SF/UTP, S-FTP, S/UTP, SF/FTP, S/FTP and S-STP (for further information on the cable types see Technical Information "SMA SPEEDWIRE FIELDBUS" at www.SMA-Solar.com).
