Activating time server in KSEM

For the data in the Solar Portal to display the correct time values, it is important that the correct time zone and time have been selected in the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter. The NTP server (Network Time Protocol server) should be activated for this too.

To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. Call up the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter's online interface
  2. Go to Device Settings > Device .
  3. Select the time zone under Date and Time.
  4. If the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter is permanently connected to the Internet via a network, activate NTP. The time is then automatically obtained from the Internet via a server. Under the advanced settings, you can also set an alternative NTP server.
    If the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter is not connected to the Internet, the time can also be set manually. The current system time and your current browser time are displayed on the interface for this purpose. Click on Set time to synchronise the two times. Your browser time is automatically converted into UTC and set as the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter’s system time.
  6. Press the Save button to adopt the settings.
  1. The time settings have been configured
