SMA systems connect to SMA's own cloud. Inverters and the Sunny Home Manager send data to Sunny Portal, and the SMA Energy app reads it from there. On the home network, inverters speak Speedwire (Ethernet) and an optional Modbus interface, and the Home Manager manages loads such as heat pumps and wallboxes over EEBUS and SEMP. We found no voice assistant or Matter support.
That suits people who want solar generation, battery and EV charging managed as one energy system, or who want to read inverter data into Home Assistant, evcc or similar tools. It is weaker as a general smart home device: there is no voice assistant integration we could confirm, and support in third-party platforms varies by inverter generation.

The homeowner app. Shows solar production, self-consumption, grid power and battery level with daily to yearly views, plus forecasts, tariff entry and load switching. It controls EV charging with SMA EV Chargers in target-based and solar-surplus modes. Login uses Sunny Portal credentials. SMA's page links the Google Play listing, but the Play page itself was not opened. The App Store listing shows SMA Solar Technology AG as publisher and requires iOS 16 or later.
An installer app, not aimed at homeowners according to SMA. It guides commissioning of Sunny Boy Smart Energy inverters, meters, the Sunny Home Manager and batteries, registers the system on Sunny Portal, and offers monitoring and manuals. SMA's page links both stores, but the Play page was not opened.
SMA's web service, powered by ennexOS for Sunny Home Manager 2.0 systems. It is where tariffs, device priorities, charging targets and all system settings are changed, and where dynamic tariffs must be registered. Some features, such as Excel export, are only available there. We did not open the portal itself.

| Platform | Status | What it means | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | |||
| Ethernet (Speedwire) | Yes | SMA Speedwire is Ethernet-based communication at 100 Mbit/s with optional encryption, which then requires all Speedwire devices except the SMA Energy Meter to support it. Release notes for the Home Manager mention Speedwire encryption added in a 2.05.6.R firmware. | SMA inverter manual: Interfaces and Functions Sunny Home Manager page |
| Wi-Fi | Yes | Available on some inverter models only. It is on by default, can be turned off, and has a WPS function. On Wi-Fi models, scanning the QR code on the product with the SMA 360 or SMA Energy app opens the inverter's web interface. We did not confirm Wi-Fi on the Sunny Home Manager 2.0. | SMA inverter manual: Interfaces and Functions SMA Energy app page |
| Webconnect and Sunny Portal | Yes | SMA Webconnect sends inverter data straight to Sunny Portal and Sunny Places without extra hardware, for up to 4 products per system. Larger systems need a data logger such as the SMA Data Manager or several systems. | SMA inverter manual: Interfaces and Functions |
| Modbus | Yes | Built into the inverter, off by default and intended for industrial use such as SCADA: reading values, changing parameters and sending setpoints. SMA offers its own Modbus protocol and the SunSpec format. Release notes for the Home Manager say its Modbus server can run without a Grid Guard code from a 2.16.4.R firmware. | SMA inverter manual: Interfaces and Functions SMA Developer: on-site integration Sunny Home Manager page |
| EEBUS and SEMP | Yes | The Sunny Home Manager 2.0 controls devices over EEBUS and SEMP, including heat pumps, and also supports SG Ready. It also lists wireless sockets from Shelly, AVM FRITZ!, Edimax and Niko. | Sunny Home Manager page |
| RS485 | Yes | Standard on the inverter, for cable connection to supported SMA communication products. SMA's YASDI library covers RS485 communication. | SMA inverter manual: Interfaces and Functions SMA Developer: on-site integration |
| Bluetooth | Not mentioned | SMA's Home Manager page says the 2.0 hardware does not support Bluetooth devices. The inverter manual page we read does not mention Bluetooth. | Sunny Home Manager page SMA inverter manual: Interfaces and Functions |
| Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread | Not mentioned | None of these are mentioned on the SMA pages we read. | Sunny Home Manager page SMA inverter manual: Interfaces and Functions |

| Home Assistant | Yes | A built-in SMA Solar integration, maintained by the Home Assistant project and not by SMA, polls the inverter's web interface (Webconnect) locally. It supports inverters, energy meters read through an inverter and battery inverters, but not all models. Devices running ennexOS, such as the Tripower X series, are not supported, and standalone SMA Energy Meters and Sunny Home Manager devices are not supported. | Home Assistant SMA Solar |
| Homey | Community | A community app, SMA Energy, not published by Athom or SMA. It covers Sunny Boy and Sunny Tripower inverters including Tripower X, Sunny Boy Storage and Sunny Island batteries over Modbus TCP (which must be enabled first), and the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 or Energy Meter over Speedwire multicast. SMA eCharger and EV Charger are not supported. The forum page is tagged for Homey Pro. We could not confirm Homey Cloud support or whether a Homey Bridge matters. | Homey community thread Homey app page Source code |
| openHAB | Yes | The SMA Energy Meter binding is in openHAB's add-on list and is maintained by the openHAB project. It covers SMA Energy Meter devices only, discovers them on a multicast address (default 239.12.255.254, port 9522) and polls every 30 seconds by default. Its page does not mention the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 or inverters. | openHAB SMA Energy Meter binding |
| evcc | Community | evcc, open-source EV charging software, connects to the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 through SEMP. It announces a SEMP endpoint over mDNS and each charging point appears as a consumer in Sunny Portal. The Home Manager can influence charging power only if explicitly allowed. It needs a Home Manager 2.0, Sunny Portal access, the same local network and port 7070 reachable. | evcc: Sunny Home Manager |
| Node-RED | Unconfirmed | No dedicated node was looked up. Node-RED could in principle read Modbus data from an enabled inverter, but we found no SMA-specific page and could not confirm one. | Searched, no source |

| IFTTT | Unconfirmed | We did not find an SMA service, but IFTTT's own pages were not searched, so this is unconfirmed. | Searched, no source |
| SMA Developer | Official | SMA runs a developer site for integrating its devices. It publishes SMA Modbus and SunSpec Modbus (built into the inverter), SEMP for energy management in the Sunny Home Manager with a development kit, Speedwire device discovery, a meter protocol interface for the SMA Energy Meter with source code, and the YASDI library for RS485. Most downloads are free, the Sunny Island CAN protocol needs registration, and SMA says it gives no development support beyond the published material. EEBUS is not covered on that page. | SMA Developer: on-site integration |
