When our solar panels were first installed I tried to connect to the SMA SunnyBoy inverter using my iPhone as it has Bluetooth already setup. The iPhone was unable to detect the SMA Inverter so initially I thought the Bluetooth was not configured on the SunnyBoy. However on further investigation it was possible to connect using a laptop so it appeared the problem was with the iPhone Bluetooth settings.
It seems like the iPhone Bluetooth configuration is very much restricted and that features that are standard on other Bluetooth devices are not possible on the iPhone hence the inability to communicate with the SMA inverter.
So the answer to the question "Can I Use an iPhone to Communicate with My SMA Sunny Boy Inverter via Bluetooth?" is unfortunately No.
A blog all about the 3kWp PV Solar panels installed in Nov 2011 in Kent UK by Solar Advanced Systems. Follow the ongoing performance and how much solar power we generate over the next few months as well as the problems and solutions we encounter along the way such as solar panels electric meter going backwards. We are registered with British Gas for our FIT payments and our roof is SSW facing. We have 14 x Sungrid 215W solar panels and Sunny Boy 3000HF inverter.
