Calculate the needed amount of professional licenses
That your account state reaches the professional state you need an equal license for each installed counter.
It is impossible to have licensed counters and unlicensed counter within the same account.
Usual rule:
Association of self-consumption with 1x photovoltaic system: Counter count + 1 (virtual)
Association of self-consumption with >1x photovoltaic system: Counter count + 2 (virtual)
Example electrical energy with smart-me energy counters
(1x photvoltaic)
(1x photvoltaic)
3x Telstar 80A
2x Telstar CT
1x virtual counter (summ of loads)
Professional licenses All-Energy: 6 pcs
Example electrical energy with smart-me energy counters and heat / water with installed M-Bus gateway (1x photvoltaic)
3x Telstar 80A
2x Telstar CT
1x virtual counter (summ of loads)
Professional licenses All-Energy: 6 pcs
1x M-Bus gateway with connected heat / water counters
3x heat
3x cold
3x hot water
3x cold water
Professional licenses for heat/water/gas: 12 pcs
Total Professional licenses: 18 pcs
Hint: the smart-me M-Bus gateway itself does not need a license.
