To know when the smart control system switches your appliances on and off, a number of things need to be measured, such as how much power the devices are using, how much power it involves, and when. This data, which together forms your usage profile, is measured by the smart meter installed in the meter cupboard.
In addition to your usage profile, the smart control system also uses local weather forecasts. This is necessary to determine the expected amount of solar power. This data helps to determine how the devices in the house can be controlled most sustainably.
Different types of devices can be controlled by the smart control system. For example, smart sockets, household appliances, heat pump boilers, air conditioners, charging stations, home batteries and inverters.
We work with a smart control system from SMA: the Sunny Home Manager. This works with various devices, some with the intervention of smart sockets (for example the SP2101W from Edimax, Smart Plugs from Shelly (via WiFi), and some products from AVM and Niko).
Without the intervention of smart sockets, some models of washing machines, dishwashers and dryers from Siemens and Bosch can be controlled smartly. The same applies to some heat pumps and heat pump boilers (if there is a smart socket in between, this is the Smart-Grid-ready option). Finally, you can also have inverters, home batteries, and charging stations controlled smartly.
