AVM has developed its intelligent sensor FRITZ!Smart Energy 250 A new software update has been released, expanding the device's functionality. With the new update... Firmware version 03.64 will now be for the first time the currently supplied power The data is displayed directly in the performance overview. This new feature is aimed particularly at users of balcony power plants or photovoltaic systems (PV systems) who want to efficiently monitor their feed-in to the home grid.
What's new in software version 03.64?
Previously, the user interface of the FRITZ!Smart Energy 250 only displayed the current power consumption of connected devices. With the update to Version 03.64 will now also the currently supplied power (also negative performance values) are listed in the overview – a clear improvement for anyone who wants to understand the energy flows in the household more precisely.
A step forward – but not quite at the goal.
Despite this useful expansion, one important function remains missing: The cumulative meter reading of the energy fed into the grid is still not displayed, we also had this circumstance in our Test report This has been criticized. For many users, especially operators of small PV systems or balcony power plants, this would be a crucial feature to not only see current values, but also the... long-term feed-in balance to be able to view and evaluate them.
Conclusion
With the update to version 03.64, AVM is taking an important step towards transparent energy measurement, especially in the context of decentralized power generation. Displaying the current feed-in significantly increases the usability of the FRITZ!Smart Energy 250. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether future firmware updates will also address this. the display of the total electricity fed in add to.
