Start-up
Initial start-up
After the energy manager has been installed, the de-
vice must be configured for initial start-up.
Information
Initial start-up may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
During initial start-up, a setup wizard guides the
electrician through the necessary settings, e.g. con-
nections, user profile, optimised charging. Some of
the settings entered here, such as those involving
the system and maintenance, can also be changed
later on by the home user. When the setup wizard
has finished, the qualified electrician must then carry
out home installation (which includes configuring the
current sensors and adding EEBus devices) in the
Web Application.
After this, the energy manager is ready for operation.
Requirements for initial start-up
Have the following information to hand for setting up
the energy manager:
– Letter containing access data for logging into the
Web Application
– Access data for your home network
–
Access data for the user profile (to link it with
your Porsche ID)
– Information on electricity tariffs/prices and any
feed-in remuneration

WPS function, without entering a password.
