Sunny Home Manager 2.0 Steers all essential home devices. Dynamic‑tariff ready, target-based charging and price-limit charging. Smartly boosts solar use and delivers reliable daily savings.

No, full offline operation is not possible.

An Internet connection to the Edimax cloud is required during commissioning of the Edimax radio-controlled sockets on the Sunny Home Manager 2.0.

An Internet connection is also required after successful setup if

• the Edimax radio-controlled sockets are to be switched via Sunny Portal or

• the automatic operating mode of the Sunny Home Manager is used.

Remember that the operating mode is always deactivated automatically again by the Sunny Home Manager after each restart. This means, that with every new use, for example for starting a washing machine, it must be reactivated, which also requires an Internet connection.

This is why we recommend always operating the Sunny Home Manager with an existing Internet connection.

From version FRITZ!OS 7.25, due to the change in the system security of the AVM FRITZ!Box, it is no longer possible to log in with a password only.

A virtual user is automatically created in the FRITZ!Box with the name fritzxxxx (x = number between 0 and 9). This means that the connection data that allows the Sunny Home Manager to switch radio-controlled sockets on the Fritz!Box needs to be adapted accordingly in Sunny Portal.

Therefore, it is recommended selecting the option FRITZ!Box user and password when logging into the home network. This setting is activated by default. The option FRITZ!Box password can now only be used for older systems.

It may be that the Shelly device has been assigned a password. As a result, the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 cannot access the device.

To successfully add the Shelly device to the system, delete the password via the device’s user interface. Then, add the device to the system again.

It may be that a firmware modification (e.g., TASMOTA) has been used for the Shelly device. In this case, the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 cannot access the device.

To successfully add the Shelly device to the system, restore the device to its original default setting with the original firmware. Then, you can add the device to the system again.

In some cases, Shelly devices currently do not behave as expected and terminate their mDNS service unexpectedly. This makes it appear as if the device is no longer present in the network.

To clarify:

• mDNS is a service that makes devices detectable automatically, without having to know their IP address.

• When this service fails on the Shelly device, the device can no longer be detected automatically.

• However, the HTTP service (the web interface) continues to remain active. Therefore, access continues to work via the Shelly app – as long as the IP address of the device does not change.

As a result, apps or systems that rely on mDNS, can no longer detect the Shelly device (in this case the Sunny Home Manager).

To resolve the problem, restart your Shelly device. This reactivates the mDNS service.

Yes, in principle, the SMA EV Charger can be operated with the Sunny Home Manager (Bluetooth), however with some restrictions:

• The SMA EV Charger is not displayed in Sunny Portal in the device overview.

• The control steps are significantly larger.

• No events are transmitted to the system logbook.

• SMA Smart Connected is not available.

• Visualization and control via the SMA Energy app are not possible.

• Forecast-based charging then has to be configured indirectly using the parameter settings on the device’s user interface.

In order to use the intelligent charging functions without restrictions, we recommend using the Sunny Home Manager 2.0.

You need an SMA inverter with multifunction relay or an SMA inverter with external all-or-nothing relay (e.g., Moxa) and the SMA Sunny Home Manager 2.0.

More information on the subject of heat pumps can be found in our Online Service Center.

To integrate a heat pump into the energy management via SG Ready, only a switching contact is required.

For this purpose, an auxiliary voltage is connected to the SG Ready input (called Q1 in the example) via the multifunction relay in the inverter or the Moxa switch box.

More information on the subject of heat pumps can be found in our Online Service Center.

Three types of connections are available: SG Ready, EEBus and SEMP.

With the SG Ready connection, the energy management from SMA transmits recommendations to the heat pump or heating rod. Communication takes place in only one direction. Since no consumption data is reported back from the device, the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 calculates the energy consumption of the respective load.

The EEBus and SEMP connection enable a bidirectional communication. Thus, recommendations as well as energy and status data between the SMA system and the heat pump or heating rod can be exchanged, read out and displayed in real time. Through these protocols, additional loads, such as an SMA EV Charger, can also be integrated using standardized applications.

More information on the subject of heat pumps can be found in our Online Service Center.

Yes.

The SMA Solar Academy offers training courses and webinars on the subject of Heat generation with SMA: Power to Heat.

More information on the subject of heat pumps can be found in our Online Service Center. Enter the term heat pumps in the search window there.

In Comfort mode, the energy management for the hot water preparation is deactivated. Therefore, the Sunny Home Manager cannot take over control of the heat pump. Thus, increased self-consumption of your PV current is not possible in this mode. Further information can be found at: https://www.vaillant.de/heizung/produkte/heizung-im-smart-home/smartes-energiemanagement.

No. When you deactivate the Forecast-based charging function, only the planning for charging and discharging the battery is disabled. The consumption forecast already learned will be preserved.

In the Sunny Home Manager, there are three planners that are processed consecutively: Mandatory planner, Optional planner and Battery planner.

When you activate the option Battery before optional load, the order is changed to: Mandatory planner > Battery planner > Optional planner.

If this setting is changed while an optional load has already been started, the load will not be stopped automatically. The running optional load continues to be supplied. This may result in the optional load being used before the set battery.

In order for the Sunny Home Manager to control the battery management correctly, the parameter Operating mode for active power setpoint must be set to External setpoint in the battery inverter.

If the parameter is set to Off, the Sunny Home Manager cannot communicate with the battery inverter. As a result, the battery may not be charged correctly.

An overview of loads compatible with the Sunny Home Manager can be found in the document Technical Information - SMA SMART HOME Compatibility List for the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 in the download area.

Yes, the Sunny Home Manager can also be used in other countries.

The information For UK only solely refers to the address of the SMA subsidiary below as a contact for Great Britain.

In addition, the UKCA label and the address of the UK subsidiary must be on the type label of the packaging for sales in Great Britain only.

Since the Sunny Home Manager firmware version 2.14.13.R, it is necessary to reset any parameter changes that have been made to their default values.

External specification:

• Upper battery charge limit: 100% (0–100%)

• Lower battery charge limit: 0% (0–100%)

Bosch Siemens Haushaltsgeräte (BSH)/Home Connect introduced a new generation of connectivity modules in 2021. This new device generation no longer supports the EEBUS energy management function.

Therefore, washing machines, dryers or dishwashers of this generation cannot be used with the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 unless they have an integrated EEBUS interface. Support by the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 is not possible without this EEBUS interface.

When selecting a current transformer, the manufacturer is less crucial. What is more important is that you are using a current transformer with a secondary current of 5 A.

Make sure that the current transformer used has at least accuracy class 1.

Selecting a suitable current transformer type depends on the grid connection of your PV system. The first number of the current transformer is the deciding factor:

• If your system has a 90 A grid connection, you should use a 100/5 A class 1 current transformer.

• If your grid connection is 120 A, use a 150/5 A class 1 current transformer.

There are various mounting options available for current transformers, for example split-core transformers or current transformers for DIN rail mounting.

Which option is suitable for you, depends primarily on the local conditions. You can use a hinged current transformer or a DIN rail mount through which the cable will be routed subsequently.

It depends on the local conditions whether you should use a current transformer with or without connection cable.

Many installers prefer current transformers without a permanently attached connection cable as pre-assembled cable lengths often do not optimally fit the specific installation. Without a connection cable the wiring can be better adapted to the conditions on site.

With StromWallet Dynamic Pro by SMA and LichtBlick, you use electric current specifically at times when prices are low. This works in two ways:

• Optimized battery usage - Your battery is automatically charged from the utility grid when the electricity rates are low. By doing this, you can avoid expensive tariffs and can use the low-cost electricity later.

• Automated operation of flexible loads - Large, flexible loads such as a Wallbox or heat pump are automatically operated during periods of low electricity rates without you having to do anything.

The Sunny Home Manager 2.0 takes over full control. It takes the daily updated electricity rates into account, plans battery charging proactively and moves the operation of compatible devices to the most cost-effective time periods.

At the same time, all familiar functions remain unchanged: solar power yields and forecasted consumption continue to be factored in so that the most cost-effective energy source is always used – preferably your own solar power.

The electricity rates valid for 15 minutes can be viewed starting around 5 p.m. for the next day in the SMA Energy App. Even past rates are easy to track at any time.

The dynamic electricity tariff is based on the Intraday exchange and therefore offers electricity rates that change every 15 minutes.

All loads that can be controlled by the Sunny Home Manager 2.0, can also be operated in an optimized manner using dynamic electricity rates. The devices and manufacturers that are supported can be looked up in the Technical information - SMA SMART HOME - Compatibility list for the Sunny Home Manager 2.0.

All SMA systems owners in Germany whose systems are equipped with an Sunny Home Manager 2.0 and registered in Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS can sign up for the tariff StromWallet Dynamic Pro.

If your system is not yet registered in the new Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS, you can find helpful information in the FAQ on how to carry out the transition in just a few steps.

Once all technical conditions are met, the booking banner is shown in the SMA Energy App on the home page and under My area.

For systems with batteries, the tariff change as well as the installation of the intelligent measuring system (smart meter) can already be ordered. The smart control of the battery requires a new firmware for the Sunny Home Manager 2.0, which becomes available in the spring of 2026.

You can sign up for the tariff directly in the SMA Energy App.

Even before signing the contract, you can calculate your individual potential savings here.

Contract conclusion is fast and easy directly in the SMA Energy App.

The SMA Energy App is your central platform for conveniently monitoring and controlling your PV system – all from your smartphone.

The app is available for free in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

• You can sign up for the tariff directly in the SMA Energy App.

• The exact prices are transmitted automatically, a manual configuration is not necessary.

You also have the option of configuring a provider-independent dynamic tariff directly in Sunny Portal.

For the optimal use of dynamic electricity tariffs, there are various setting options available in Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS:

• Optimization target

Under Configuration > Energy management > Optimization target, select Economical. This setting applies to the battery, SMA charging stations and all controllable loads and ensures that the most cost-effective energy source available is used.

• Battery setting

Under Configuration > Energy management, activate the forecast-based battery charging and set the required battery state of charge to 0%.

• SMA charging stations

Charging with specified target: The vehicle will be charged to at least the target level by the specified time; when the optimization target Economical is active, low electricity rates are also taken into account.

Charging with cost limit: The charging process only occurs when the current electricity rate is below the maximum energy costs specified by you.

• Loads

Necessary loads are automatically operated at times when the most cost-effective energy source is available. For optional loads, maximum energy costs can be defined.
