Energy Meter vs SolarDashboard

Monitor and discover real-time data of your SMA solar photovoltaic plant or locate secret power wasters in your home. Individual SMA sensors or inverters can be examined directly (see below list of supported devices). The app communicates locally with the solar system without a cloud. This means that real-time measured data are available at lightning speed and changes of power values are detected immediately. Discover and explore your photovoltaic system and keep track of your power grid! Connect your iPhone or iPad to the same network (WiFi) as your PV plant and get a deep insight of your power grid. The app works best with self-consumption plants (plants with Sunny Home Manager devices). The focus of the app is to monitor real-time data values. Long-term recordings are currently not possible (apart from the grid consumption measurements). ** Features ** * Monitor SMA Energy Meter real-time data * Supports SMA inverters (via MODBUS protocol only!) * Automatically finds and detects SMA devices and sensors on the local network * Energy flow display of your solar plant (self-consumption plant) at the grid connection point * Measurement of consumption values (grid consumption measurement) * Separate view of individual phases (L1, L2, L3) via Energy Meter sensors * Collecting values into charts * Detailed measured value view for each individual SMA device/sensor * Use the app to detect und jump onto the web interface of the inverter device ** Supported SMA Sensors and Inverters ** * SMA Energy Meter 1.0 + 2.0 (via Speedwire protocol) * SMA Sunny Home Manager 2.0 (supports only the build-in Energy Meter!) * SMA Sunny Boy Storage 3.7, 3.8, 5.0, 6.0 (via MODBUS) * SMA Sunny Island Storage 3.0, 4.4, 6.0, 8.0 (via MODBUS) * SMA Sunny Tripower 8.0 - 10.0 (via MODBUS) * SMA Sunny Tripower Smart Energy (Hybrid, via MODBUS) ** NOT supported devices ** * SMA Sunny Home Manager 1.0 (HM-10) Hint: Manual activation of the MODBUS protocol is required for communication with SMA inverters in the device settings. For this you need installer rights of your inverters! We are looking forward to your feedback or questions to feedback@heiko-pruessing.de!

Use your solar power smarter with SolarDashboard. Keep track of your photovoltaic system, electricity consumption and solar surplus at all times. SolarDashboard shows your current energy flows in real time – on iPhone, iPad, Mac and as a convenient widget. Real-time solar monitoring See at a glance how much power your PV system is currently producing, how much electricity you are using and how much energy is being exported to or imported from the grid. Supported systems: SolarEdge, SMA, Kostal, Huawei, Fronius, Growatt, GoodWe and Enphase. Charge your electric car with solar surplus Connect your wallbox and charge your electric car automatically with excess solar energy. SolarDashboard dynamically adjusts the charging power to the available solar energy. You can define: * from which solar power level charging should start * which minimum charge level should be reached * how your solar surplus should be used most efficiently This helps you lower electricity costs, increase self-consumption and use more green power from your own PV system. Supported wallboxes: Easee, Fronius Wattpilot, go-e Charger, Zaptec, NRGkick Connect, SMA EV Charger 22, Wallbox Pulsar Plus and Alfen Eve. SolarDashboard also supports direct vehicle integration for selected electric cars from Audi, SEAT and Škoda. Control smart devices with solar power Use your surplus solar energy for HomeKit or Matter devices. Automatically control air conditioners, infrared heaters, water heaters, pool heaters or smart plugs with green power. Also ideal for using an iPad as a central home automation device. Your benefits More independence: Use more self-generated electricity and become less dependent on the grid. Lower electricity costs: Increase your self-consumption and reduce your electricity bill. More sustainability: Use your own green electricity instead of power from fossil sources. SolarDashboard is available for free. Some features, such as automatic solar surplus charging, require a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
