4.2 SMA Radio-Controlled Socket
4.2.1 Functions
The SMA radio-controlled socket supports load control in households with the
Sunny Home Manager. The SMA radio-controlled socket carries out the following tasks:
• Implementing control commands issued by the Sunny Home Manager
• Measuring the energy consumption of the connected loads
• Improving the wireless connection between BLUETOOTH devices
Implementing Control Commands of the Sunny Home Manager
The Sunny Home Manager can switch the SMA radio-controlled socket on and off. As a result,
specific electrical devices can be switched on if e.g. a lot of PV power is available.
The times at which the Sunny Home Manager switches the radio-controlled socket on or off depend
on the configuration of the SMA radio-controlled socket and the scheduling of the
Sunny Home Manager (see the user manual "SUNNY HOME MANAGER in Sunny Portal").
Measuring the Energy Consumption of the Connected Loads
The SMA radio-controlled socket measures the energy consumption of the connected loads and
transmits the measured values via the Sunny Home Manager to Sunny Portal.
