SMA integration (beta)
The SMA integration allows administrators to connect and monitor SMA inverters through end-user credentials.
Setup from the portal (administrators)
Installer credentials integration
Before end users can connect their SMA systems, an administrator must configure client credentials in the portal:
- Contact SMA developer support to request access to the SMA Monitoring API and ask for a Client ID and Client Secret.
- SMA will issue your Client ID and Client Secret. Store them securely.
- Go to Settings → My Integrations.
- Click the Add Inverter button.
- Select SMA brand.
- Fill in the following fields:
- Name: Identifier for this integration in the portal (e.g. Production, Test).
- Client ID and Client Secret: These are the credentials obtained in step 2.
Once completed, end users will be able to connect their SMA systems by logging in with their Sunny Portal account. To check whether the integration is available for end users, go to Settings → My Integrations. If the integration does not appear, you can request its activation.
Setup from the App (end users)
Only end users who meet the following requirements will be able to complete this process:
- Have a Sunny Portal account.
- Have owner permissions associated with their installation.
Steps:
- Go to More → Connections → Solar installation and batteries in the app.
- Tap on SMA to start the connection process.
- On the Connect your device screen, log in with your Sunny Portal account and confirm the connection request.
- Authorize the integration by checking the required permission boxes.
Once authorized, your SMA installation will be connected and ready for monitoring through the app.
