6.4.2 Information on SMA Bluetooth
The SMA Bluetooth devices of your PV system can communicate and network with an SMA Bluetooth
communication product via Bluetooth wireless technology. To ensure the devices communicate with
each other and are interlinked, they have to be set to the same NetID. The NetID is the unique
identification number of your PV system. It can therefore be used to distinguish your PV system from
other SMA Bluetooth PV systems.
Determining the NetID for your PV system
If your Bluetooth PV system does not have a NetID yet, you first need to determine a free
NetID with the Sunny Explorer or Sunny Beam with Bluetooth software applications and
then set the devices of your PV system accordingly.
Extending the Bluetooth network with the SMA Bluetooth Repeater
The SMA Bluetooth Repeater can help you extend the wireless range of your Bluetooth network.
When a SMA Bluetooth Repeater is set up at the coverage boundary of a Bluetooth network, it is
capable of routing the data traffic in that network into its own wireless range. This technology allows
you to set up Bluetooth networks that cover a much larger area than would be possible with just the
Sunny SensorBox or SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth.
