How to choose?

Both the HEMS Controller Air and Pro can meet the needs of the vast majority of household users. So, how should you make your selection?

HEMS Controller Air 2 HEMS Controller Pro
  • Ideal for placement on flat surfaces such as desks.
  • With a relatively limited number of ports, it is best suited for scenarios where the types of interfaces for connected devices are uniform.
  • Suitable for installation in meter boxes or other locations with a PIN 35 rail.
  • Equipped with multiple interfaces, allowing connection of a larger number of subdevices or devices with varying interface types.
  • Provides greater convenience when custom development of specialized interface types is required.

Types of Sub-devices

As the focal point of household energy systems, the HEMS Controller can manage various types of sub-devices, including:

No. Tybe No. Tybe
1 Smart meter 4 Heat pump
2 Solar inverter & Battery 5 Other high-power appliances
3 EV Charger 6 Relay*

*In households where older devices may lack communication interfaces for smart control, a Relay or smart socket (which controls the power supply to the device) can be used to manage the device’s on/off functionality.

Protocols

The HEMS Controller supports a variety of protocols, enabling communication with different types of devices:

Communication protocol Effect

  • Connection to IP networks via WiFi or RJ45 Ethernet cable
eMUCs-P1
  • Communication with PI meters
  • Connection to meters via RJ12 cables
Linky
  • Communication with Linky meters
  • Connection to meters via Zigbee modules or wired cables

Ports

The HEMS Controller must be connected to sub-devices using the appropriate ports.

  • For details on sub-device interfaces, reference the respective device manuals to understand their purposes and default parameters.
  • Below is an illustrative diagram of the HEMS Controller’s ports:
