IOT – Home and Solar Management
Project Scope
As the local heart of the smart home system, our SmartBuddy 2.0 ensures all communication between your SmartHome sensors.
There are hardly any limits to the system thanks to numerous individual configuration and control options via our proven dashboard user interface.
✦ Monitoring of the energy production of your photovoltaic system and the energy consumption of the house.
✦ Communication with the PV inverter via IP interface.
✦ App with overview of consumption data, operating and configuration menu for the connected devices.
✦ Smart Home – Supports over 1000 Smart Home-enabled sensors, lamps, heating controllers and switches.
Using smart plugs, such as Shelly, you can let practically all electrical consumers benefit from your solar power in a controlled manner.
The Smart Buddy is manufacturer-independent and works with inverters, charging stations and smart home sensors from a wide range of manufacturers.
Automatic PV – surplus charging
✦ In this mode, the excess PV power is used for charging via the wallbox; additionally, electricity is drawn from the grid operator if required.
Manual EV charging
✦ Here, the charging process starts immediately, regardless of whether there is excess PV power or not.
Support for many well-known wallboxes/electric charging stations
