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 7 of 29
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.

4. Planning and site preparation
The first step is to determine the complete monitoring solution. This consists of listing all
the loads that need to be measured, their properties, and the required hardware (Smappee
and others).
The checklist provided helps you to determine all necessary technical information for the
next steps and also to collect all the necessary hardware.
General architecture - what is to be monitored
Single or multiple metering locations: Where are the fuse boxes or appliances to be
monitored? (Location inside the building, distances between them, etc.)
Total load (main service): Yes/no?
Specific appliances? (e.g. HVAC, Heat pump, EV, Solar, etc.). Are they fused separately or
are they powered by a wall socket & plug?
Circuits (main sockets, lighting area, etc.)
Details
Topology: Verify the mains voltage – single phase (1P), three-phase 3P+N (3*400) or 3P
(3*230)
How are the total load, solar, circuits, and/or appliances fused?
Phases of each measured load (circuits and appliances): Single-phase, three-phase,
3P+N (3*400V) or 3P (3*230V), voltage, frequency, power, amps
