u003ch3u003eFrom Solar Energy to Home Heatingu003c/h3u003enThe Anna P1 from Plugwise is the world’s first thermostat that connects directly to your smart meter. This unique design eliminates the need for additional hardware and gives you full control over your energy consumption. This way, you can not only save on your energy bill but also contribute to a more sustainable world.nnu0026nbsp;nnu003ch4u003eMake the most of your solar energya003c/h4u003enThe Anna P1 allows you to use the solar energy you generate directly in your home. Instead of feeding energy back into the grid, the thermostat intelligently uses excess energy to heat your home or charge a thermal battery (hot water tank). This smart integration increases your self-consumption, lowers your energy costs, and reduces your dependence on the power grid. This way, you make better use of your free energy and actively contribute to a better environment.
u003ch3u003eYour energy, your rules.u003c/h3u003enIt works simply: you choose a u003cstrongu003estarteru003c/strongu003e and a corresponding u003cstrongu003eactionu003c/strongu003e. Now, let’s look at the u003cstrongu003eStarter:u003c/strongu003e This is a situation in which Anna must respond, for example, when your solar panels generate more electricity than you consume and begin feeding excess power back into the grid.u003c/liu003entu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eAction:u003c/strongu003e You decide what happens next. For example, you can:nu003culu003entu003cliu003eAdjust the temperature in your home.u003c/liu003entu003cliu003eActivate a specific scene (for example, “Home” or “Away”).u003c/liu003entu003cliu003eAdjust the hot water temperature.u003c/liu003entu003cliu003eTurn the comfort mode for your hot tap water on or off.u003c/liu003entu003cliu003eFor Thercon Therma: Activate Boost modeu003c/liu003enu003c/ulu003enu003c/liu003enu003c/ulu003enAn example: Suppose your solar panels are feeding excess electricity back into the grid (u003cstrongu003estarteru003c/strongu003e); in that case, Anna can automatically raise the temperature in your home (u003cstrongu003eactieu003c/strongu003e). This way, you make the most of your self-generated energy and keep everything fully under your own control.
u003ch3u003eA small job, a big difference/h3u003enu003cpu003eOnce installed, the Anna P1 makes your life easier, but we’ll admit: there is one small thing to keep in mind. The Anna P1 consists of two parts: the Anna display, which you use as a thermostat, and the Smile-T P1 hub. The hub is connected to your smart meter in the utility closet via a 0.9-meter fixed cable.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eAnd here’s the challenge: the Anna display requires a wired connection to the hub. But in many homes, the thermostat wire isn’t located in the meter cabinet. What now?u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eDon’t worry, we have two simple solutions:u003c/pu003enu003colu003enu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eReroute the thermostat wire to the utility closet.u003c/strongu003eu003cbr /u003eu003cspan data-teams=u0022trueu0022u003eThis might sound complicated, but it really doesn’t have to be. In many cases, the thermostat wire currently runs directly from the living room to the boiler. In that case, you can simply run an additional (4-wire) cable from the boiler to the smart meter. This extends the thermostat wire to the meter cabinet, where you’ll install the Smile-T P1. You can easily connect this to the smart meter while running the extended thermostat wire from the boiler to the Smile-T P1, and from there back to the boiler.u003cbr /u003eAn alternative is to use a single network cable, but please note: always use a u003cstrongu003etwisted pairu003c/strongu003e (two wires twisted together) as a single wire, because a single strand of a twisted pair is too thin.u003cbr /u003eThe advantage of this method is that a thermostat wire can easily be extended up to u003cstrongu003e50 metersu003c/strongu003e without expensive extras. With a P1 cable, the situation is different: it can be up to u003cstrongu003e3 metersu003c/strongu003e long. For longer distances, an active P1 splitter is required, which makes the solution more expensive.u003c/spanu003eu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eExtending the cable from the hub to the smart meter. u003c/strongu003eu003cbr /u003eBy using a P1 port splitter, the distance between the gateway and the smart meter can be extended by an additional 6 meters per splitter.u003c/liu003enu003c/olu003enu003cpu003eChoose the option that best suits your situation. An installer can easily set this up for you, and for serious DIYers, it’s a small challenge with a big payoff. Be sure to check out the frequently asked questions below for tips on extending the cables.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eWith Anna P1, it’s still the same: smart, sustainable, and… almost completely effortless! 😊u003c/pu003e

u003ch2u003eFrequently Asked Questionsu003c/h2u003e
u003ch4u003eHow do I extend the thermostat cable?u003c/h4u003enu003cpu003eThe thermostat cable may be up to 50 meters long with a maximum resistance of 5 ohms. A 2x0.6 mm² or 2x0.8 mm² cable with a solid core is usually used for this purpose. Extending the thermostat wire is much easier and cheaper than extending the P1 cable in most situations.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eu0026nbsp;u003c/pu003enu003ch4u003eHow do I extend the P1 cable?u003c/h4u003enu003cpu003eThere are several ways to extend the P1 cable:u003c/pu003enu003culu003enu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eP1 splitteru003c/strongu003e: Plug the Anna P1 cable into it. Then plug an extension cable into the second port. This allows you to extend the cable by up to 6 meters per splitter.u003c/liu003enu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eP1 extension moduleu003c/strongu003e: An extension module uses an RJ45 cable. This allows you to extend the cable by up to 100 meters.u003c/liu003enu003c/ulu003enu003cpu003eThe various components are available from the following suppliers:u003c/pu003enu003culu003enu003cliu003eu003ca href="https://www.tech4u.nl/u0022 target="_blank" rel="noopener" Tech4u/au003eu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eu003ca href="https://webshop.cedel.nl/nl/Smart-Meter-Cables" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cedelu003c/au003eu003c/liu003enu003cliu003eu003ca href="https://www.homewizard.com/nl/shop/active-p1-splitter/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eHomewizardu003c/au003eu003c/liu003enu003c/ulu003enu003cpu003eu0026nbsp;u003c/pu003enu003ch4u003eIs there also a connection to a home battery?u003c/h4u003enu003cpu003eNo, there is no connection to a home battery. Anna can only perform an action via the cable connected to the heat source. This is done via an OpenTherm or On/Off signal (max 24V).u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eu0026nbsp;u003c/pu003enu003ch4u003eWhat happens if I use a P1 splitter with Anna P1 and a home battery?u003c/h4u003enu003cpu003eThe Anna P1 thermostat and your home battery both operate based on data from the P1 port of your smart meter. With a P1 splitter, both the thermostat and the home battery receive the same measurement data at exactly the same time.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eThis means that both devices make decisions independently of each other based on this information. There is no direct communication between the thermostat and the home battery, which means they can both request energy at the same time. As a result, the following may occur:u003c/pu003enu003culu003enu003cliu003eThe thermostat turns on the heating based on the temperature settings.u003c/liu003enu003cliu003eThe home batteries decide to store or release energy.u003c/liu003enu003c/ulu003enu003cpu003eu0026nbsp;u003c/pu003e
