2. Smappee Infinity
modularity
Smappee Infinity is a modular energy monitoring solution, which is designed to be easily installed in existing and new installations. Smappee Infinity’s modular design allows you to add additional CTs through the use of CT Hubs.
Smappee Infinity has three essential components:
• CT Hubs: These are the main components of the monitoring system. You can connect up to 4 CTs or Rogowski coils to the CT Hub to measure different currents, ranging from 50A to 1000A. This allows for accurate submetering of (a group of) appliances. Daisy chain CT Hubs to measure different installations up to a distance of 100 meters (109 yards).
• Power Box: This is the heart of the monitoring system as it provides power to all components. It measures the line voltage of the different connected phases and transfers the data via RS 485.
• Genius: The gateway between the monitoring system and the Smappee Cloud, ensuring secure data storage from different components. The possibilities of communication to cloud are Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 3G/4G Cellular (USB dongle). It also interacts with third-party components, Smappee Gas & Water and Smappee Switch.
Smappee Infinity – Installation manual – English Page 6 of 92
A typical Smappee Infinity setup consists of one Power Box, one Genius or Wi-Fi Connect, CTHubs, and CTs. The different components communicate through the Smappee Bus.
The Smappee Infinity is configured through the Smappee Energy Monitor mobile app (which you can download from the Apple App store or Google Play store). The real-time and historical monitoring data are accessible for visualisation and analysis purposes.
Smappee Infinity can easily be integrated into any energy, home, and building management system through several protocols such as MQTT, REST. These protocols publish real-time measurements, events, and historical data and allow you to control your Smappee Switch devices.
Smappee is not only a monitoring solution but also an energy traffic controller. This functionality allows automatic interaction with the energy traffic within the installation, which is based on predefined logic embedded in the Smappee. A basic example of this functionality is the use of the Smappee smart plug (Smappee Switch), which allows the intelligent switching of appliances based on the real-time load monitoring following standard processes (scenes) that can easily be set up via the mobile app.

8. Configuration of CTs
In this procedure, the initial setup and configuration are linked to each physical CT.
Proceed in the Smappee Energy Monitor mobile app and follow the steps as shown.
Smappee Infinity – Installation manual – English Page 20 of 29
9. Validation of the installation
Once the installation is complete, it is good practice to validate the correct operation of the monitoring solution.
You should check that all CTs are operational and measuring the correct power values. If loads are being measured, this does not automatically mean that the power values are correct. Incorrect line voltage and current mapping could lead to incorrect power values and wrong monitoring data.
To check the correct operation of the Smappee Infinity, Smappee provides real-time values of all measured loads. You can access these real-time values with the mobile app or via the Smappee Dashboard.
There are two options for visualising real-time values:
1. The Smappee App reports real-time active power values for each input individually.
2. The Smappee Dashboard reports real-time the active and reactive power, line & phase voltage, power factor, and current of each input: https://dashboard.smappee.net – see Live electricity values card.
Real-time values in the Smappee App: go to Profile > Your Smappee monitors > Smappee Infinity > Load Configuration.
The details of each measured load, such as the used CT Hub input and the phase mapping properties, are accessible under Load Configuration in the Smappee App.
Real-time values in Smappee Dashboard:
https://dashboard.smappee.net/board/Electricity
Smappee Infinity – Installation manual – English Page 21 of 29
Use a digital multimeter to determine which phase powers the different loads. Please note that the colour code inside the fuse box and/or phase numbering may be incorrect.
0 volt is measured when both loads are on the same phase.
