South Korea’s Samsung and Germany-based SMA, the inverter manufacturer, have tied up to interlinking their communications and to facilitate the integration of Samsung heating systems into SMA´s home energy management system.
To this end, the two firms have developed an innovative cloud-to-cloud solution that allows PV systems with SMA inverters to be integrated into Samsung’s SmartThings smart home ecosystem. Thus, incorporating heat pumps into their domestic energy systems, enables them to become less dependent on rising energy prices and monitors a Samsung heat pump installed at the property.
“The good thing for users is how simple it is to integrate Samsung Eco Heating Systems,” said Jan Van Laethem, Executive Vice President of SMA’s home business segment. “Thanks to the interconnected communications for energy and smart home management, they can easily manage domestic appliances that generate and consume energy,”he noted.
In its statement, it further said, “In addition to heat pumps, the SMA Sunny Home Manager 2.0 can be used to integrate energy generators, battery storage systems, wall boxes, and home appliances.The smart energy manager is thus impressive worldwide and there are already more than 200,000 devices in use.”
“At Samsung, we are passionate about sustainability and innovation. That’s why we are excited to join forces with SMA, a global leader in photovoltaic and storage system technologies, to integrate our SmartThings Energy with SMA’s PV systems. This will allow our customers to enjoy a smart and efficient solution for heating and hot water, as well as to monitor and control their energy usage and carbon emissions.” said Chanwoo Park, Executive Vice President and Head of IoT Business group of the Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics.
