SMA XML setup

Import Sunny WebBox XML data from an agreed delivery location. This is a separate format from the SMA CSV connector.

File onboarding is complete only after the source export, secure delivery, field mapping and recurring arrival have all been checked.

Connection type: File import.

Before you start

Provide the largest inverter rating in kWp for spike filtering. Ask Eniris to confirm the logger model and XML export before enabling delivery; the CSV setup procedure is not an XML recipe.

What to provide

Provide your company and contact person, the intended Insights account, the source identifiers and explicit permission for the requested scope. Include a recent source example for verification.

Set up the connection

1. Identify the source logger or export system and supply an original sample file. Confirm model, firmware, format and time zone with Eniris.
2. Agree the delivery route. For an Eniris FTP destination, request dedicated server, protocol, port, username, password and folder settings from Eniris. Use the agreed protocol exactly.
3. The installer or source owner enables recurring delivery. Eniris configures the accessible source location and device/field mappings; creating a meter does not configure the remote source.
4. Send a test file and record its timestamp. Eniris verifies arrival before starting collection, then compares the processed measurements with the original file.

Use the XML-capable FTP push procedure for your exact WebBox model. The SMA logger guide explains the model distinction; ask Eniris to confirm XML settings before upload.

Check the result

Check that the first collection completed, then open the intended Insights account and verify the relevant measurements or metadata. Compare source IDs, timestamps and units with the original source. Check the next scheduled execution as well. An active schedule or a healthy job alone does not prove that every requested measurement was received.

For ordinary onboarding meters, creation requests an immediate first run and keeps recurring collection active. Source publication times, upload intervals and provider limits still apply; immediate collection cannot manufacture missing source data.

If setup does not work

If no file arrives, inspect the logger/export status, destination, authentication, network route and folder. If files arrive but no measurements appear, provide the filename, format, source identifiers and timestamp so Eniris can check parsing and mapping.

Access and costs

Costs are not established for this connector. Confirm provider access, export licences and any project charges with Eniris before activation.
