EEBus connections

The name of the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter and the SKI device identification code are displayed under My Device.

The SKI (Subject Key Identifier) is a unique code for your own EEBus device. Other devices with EEBus can query this code during the coupling process to identify the EEBus device. In this case, the SKI can be copied to your clipboard by clicking the Copy symbol.

The table lists all the available EEBus devices in the local network.

The symbols can be used to display more details about the EEBus device and to perform coupling actions.

The following properties are displayed for every available EEBus device:
