EEBus for the Smart Home
What is EEBus
The EEBUS initiative develops international communication standards that connect devices in the smart home and the energy sector. It brings together manufacturers from the energy, telecommunications, electronics and automotive industries and defines open data models for efficient energy management.
Sunny Home Manager 2.0 uses the EEBUS standard to communicate with heat pumps, wallboxes and other energy-relevant devices from a wide range of manufacturers. This makes home energy management even more efficient: devices exchange consumption and generation data, automatically adjust their output and increase the self-consumption of solar power, without additional gateways or proprietary interfaces.
How it works technically:
EEBUS is based on standardised communication profiles, known as use cases. They define how energy managers, heat pumps or chargers exchange data to control energy flows intelligently:
MPC (Monitoring of Power Consumption): records current energy consumption or generation and provides the data to the energy manager.
LPC (Limitation of Power Consumption): limits power draw to prevent grid overloads and avoid peak loads.
Sunny Home Manager 2.0 has supported various EEBUS use cases for years and is now expanding its functionality to include the two use cases above, including official pilot qualification. This means greater compatibility and a wider choice of devices that can be easily integrated into the energy management system.
As a result, Sunny Home Manager is already interoperable with the control device in accordance with EEBUS and meets the technical requirements for grid supporting controllability under Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG).
