Watt’s up?
Your house knows exactly!
Do you really know what your house is doing behind your back? We believe that energy flows should not be a mystery. We have found a way to make your smart home transparent so that you know exactly who is responsible for your energy costs.
Experience how simple smart energy can be: from photovoltaics and storage to wallboxes and heat pumps, generators and consumers are displayed clearly and visually in real time. You can immediately see how much power is being generated, stored or consumed and how much is currently being drawn from the grid (spoiler: maybe it's even zero?). The energy monitor not only makes energy visible, but also tangible – for maximum transparency in the smart home.
Thanks to modern building automation, you can see immediately:
- Is electricity from the PV system currently being used?
- How much power is the storage system supplying?
- Which devices are currently consuming energy?
- And how high is the grid consumption – or is it perhaps even zero?
And all this can be embedded in your favourite visualisation. See it where you need it!
Does Section 14a of the Energy Industry Act sound dry? Not for your wallet.
Who enjoys reading legal texts? The new Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) is a shining exception, as it directly benefits your wallet. Households and businesses benefit from significantly reduced grid fees if they use controllable devices such as wall boxes in a grid-friendly manner. In this way, you can actively contribute to the energy transition and, at the same time, ensure a more stable power grid.
Peak performance.
Without peaks.
The integrated peak load management system in the SMART CONNECT KNX e-charge II detects high power requirements in real time and controls them intelligently. This automatically avoids unnecessary peak loads and reduces energy costs.
Versatile wasn’t enough for us.
Grid connection in KNX
Maximum information and control at last. With our SMART CONNECT KNX e-charge II, you can adjust your consumption to grid conditions, minimise grid consumption, optimise your own consumption, avoid unbalanced loads and easily implement grid control in accordance with Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG).
Your advantage: measuring point freely selectable – via KNX or directly from the inverter. Saves costs and space!
Smart load management in KNX
A good manager thinks ahead, keeps an eye on everything and always makes the right decisions. You can now combine these multiple skills in just two slimline HP units. The device distributes the available power exactly where it is needed: to charging processes, the solar storage system or your household consumers. With static and dynamic load management, integrated peak load management and full flexibility with or without a PV system, the system ensures maximum cost-effectiveness and absolute future-proofing.
Your advantage: reduces energy costs, protects your house connection.
Photovoltaics and storage in KNX
All for one, one for all – the SMART CONNECT KNX e-charge II is your new favourite team player. It integrates up to five solar inverters plus storage, or four solar inverters plus storage and one hybrid inverter. For ultimate freedom and variability.
Your advantage: simple and quick integration of inverters. Greater self-sufficiency, greater security, lower energy costs.
Visualisation using KNX
Charging processes and energy flows, consumption and yield values: all of these processes and parameters produce or represent important data that can be utilised effectively throughout the entire installation. From now on, you can make these available for visualisation on all devices on the KNX conveniently and immediately, and thanks to the new energy monitor, keep an eye on all energy flows in real time.
Your advantage: transparent performance and energy values.
Control via KNX
Trust is good, but control is better. In keeping with this, the SMART CONNECT KNX e-charge II finally allows users to customise priorities and sequences themselves and precisely control the best energy strategy in each case, such as surplus or fast charging and load management.
Your advantage: flexible control during ongoing operation.
Charging points in KNX
Freedom is the greatest asset, both in life and in technology. So why not do it your way and integrate up to five charging points from different manufacturers in mixed operation? Cutting-edge multiculturalism that is becoming even more colourful with every update.
Your advantage: quick and easy integration of charging points without additional adapters.
Unbalanced load?
No problem.
Our SMART CONNECT KNX e-charge II detects uneven phase loads and reacts automatically. If the defined limit value is exceeded, the system reduces the charging power – or pauses the charging process until the permissible limits are met again.
For safe, standard-compliant operation – without any manual intervention
Smart load management
(static)
More charging points, less grid load – with static load management.
With static load management, the available connection power is reliably distributed across all connected charging points, preventing overloads and costly grid expansion measures.
Smart load management
(dynamic)
Maximum flexibility, optimal utilisation of connection power – with dynamic load management.
With dynamic load management, the actual building load is measured in real time and the available power for the charging points is automatically adjusted. This allows you to make optimal use of your connection power without overloading the grid connection.
Smart load management
(dynamic + PV)
Maximum connected load including photovoltaics
Utilise your infrastructure to its full potential. Secure, intelligent and maximally economical. With dynamic load management with PV, the full permissible connected load is utilised and the currently available PV surplus is also used for charging. This allows you to get the maximum technical performance from your grid connection and your PV system.
Smart load management
(PV-optimised)
Charge electric cars – preferably with your own solar power.
With PV-optimised charging, you use the electricity from your photovoltaic system where it adds the most value: when charging electric vehicles. Your solar power takes priority and grid power only kicks in when necessary. This reduces costs, increases self-consumption and makes your charging sustainable.
Peak load management
Peak loads cost you money every month – we put an end to that
With our intelligent peak load management, you can reduce your power peaks, lower your grid fees and make your energy consumption predictable. Fully automatic and transparent.

New firmware, new possibilities
Version 3.0 for the SMART CONNECT KNX e-charge II will be available soon!
With the upcoming update to version 3.0, the SMART CONNECT KNX e-charge II will become the new heart of your smart energy management system. We have expanded the device with essential functions that take the interaction between photovoltaics, storage and electromobility to a new level.
The new energy monitor: experience maximum transparency. From photovoltaics and storage to wallboxes and heat pumps, generators and consumers are visualised intuitively and in real time. You can immediately see how much power is being generated, stored or consumed – with both current and historical values, clearly displayed on the device website and in informative visualisations.
Section 14a EnWG: Households and businesses benefit significantly from reduced grid fees when they use controllable devices such as wallboxes in a grid-friendly manner. In this way, you can actively shape the energy transition and, at the same time, ensure a more stable power grid.
Peak load management: The integrated peak load management efficiently avoids unnecessary peak loads and thus tariff jumps. This saves energy costs!
