    Maximum number of devices The Sunny Home Manager supports a maximum of 24 devices. The term device includes all components that exchange data with the Sunny Home Manager, i.e. SMA inverters, radio- controlled sockets, and smart loads. The SMA Energy Meter is not included in these devices.
  • Page 12 A fully equipped energy management system (with a maximum of 24 devices) can consist of the following components: • 3 x SMA Inverters • 1 x heat pump that is controlled by the Sunny Home Manager via a direct data connection. • 20 x radio-controlled sockets Due to the actively controlled heat pump, only eleven radio-controlled sockets can be actively controlled by the Sunny Home Manager.
  • Page 13 The Sunny Boy 240 and the Sunny Multigate are not intended for use in Sunny Home Manager systems. Although the Sunny Home Manager can detect the Sunny Multigate, use of the Sunny Home Manager for the configuration of this inverter is not recommended. SMA Solar Technology AG does not accept liability for missing or incorrect data and any yield losses that may result.
  • Page 14 As soon as you have registered and configured a PV production meter in the Sunny Home Manager system, the Sunny Home Manager will no longer query the power data of the SMA inverters directly from the inverters via Speedwire, but will receive the power data from the PV production meter.
