Ecosoft SG-Hub

€ 329,75 – € 412,40

The Ecosoft SG-Hub is a smart switch with two relays, WiFi, ethernet and other connectors. The Hub is intended to control connected devices to save energy costs. It is suitable for among others heat pumps, hybrid heat pumps, heat pump boilers and PV-systems.

The Ecosoft SG-Hub has connectors for DS18, PWM, RS-485, SG-Ready (relays 1 and 2), EVU (relay 1), P1 (connection to smart meter), P1 signal forwarding and ethernet. It is also possible to connect external relay devices, to add more additional relays.

Operating heat pumps
The Ecosoft SG-Hub operates heat pumps to keep the heating costs as low as possible, by benefitting from energy price fluctuations during the day.

Operating hybrid heat pumps
The SG-Hub is suitable for hybrid heat pumps as well. For example, if at some time during the day, gas heating by the gas boiler is cheaper than the electrical power heating by the heat pump, the SG-Hub can switch the heat pump in a lower operating mode.

For PV system
For supported inverters, the Hub can (via the ModBus protocol) regulate back or set to zero the solar inverter’s output power if the price falls below a certain value. If the Ecosoft SG-Hub is informed by P1-data (not in the UK) from the smart meter when a PV system is feeding back electricity to the grid, it can switch on the heat pump to utilise the solar energy. Note: For the UK and all other countries, alternatives to P1-data are Shelly EM or data received directly from the inverter about the production of solar energy. Batteries connected to supported solar inverters can be controlled as well.

The SG-Hub should only be installed by an expert installer.

License
The SG-Hub comes with a license for 1 year or 3 years. With this license, the SG-Hub can receive energy prices from the internet, and to be connected to the Ecosoft cloud, so you can change settings online and store energy consumption data. The license can be extended.

Description

The Ecosoft SG-Hub is a smart switch with two relays, WiFi, ethernet and other connectors. The Hub is intended to control connected devices to save energy costs. Because cheap energy is more than often green energy (solar and wind energy), there are benefits for the environment as well.

The SG-Hub should only be installed by an expert installer.

How does the SG-Hub work?

Operating heat pumps

Every day, the SG-Hub creates a planning with “moments to switch” and takes the following into account:

• Your location (where outside temperature and prices depend on)
• The efficiency of your heat pump at certain outside temperatures
• The electricity prices during 24 hours of a day
• The efficiency of your gas boiler (if present)
• The current gas price
• Your preferences filled out in the energy planner.

Requirements

To benefit from the advantages the Smart Grid Controller has to offer, you will need:

Which heat pumps the SG-Hub is suitable for?
The Ecosoft SG-Hub can operate heat pumps with an SG-ready interface or an EVU contact. See: supported heat pumps

The SG-Hub should only be installed by an expert installer.
