myenergi eddi Relay & Sensor Board (EDDI-RLYBD): Unlock Advanced Eddi Control

Take your myenergi eddi solar power diverter to the next level with the optional Relay & Sensor Board (EDDI-RLYBD). This internal expansion board adds significant flexibility and control options, allowing you to integrate your eddi more deeply with your home's heating systems and take advantage of different energy tariffs.

Expand Control with Multifunction Relays

The key benefit of this board is the addition of two independent, multifunction relays. According to the eddi technical documentation where this optional board is mentioned, each relay is rated at 16 Amps. These can be configured within the eddi settings to perform various tasks, such as switching auxiliary loads, controlling circulation pumps, interfacing with heat pumps (check compatibility), or enabling multi-zone electric heating control based on eddi's logic.

Integrate Temperature Sensing

Gain more precise control over your heating systems. The board provides two inputs for PT1000 temperature sensors (sensors not typically included). By connecting temperature sensors, your eddi can make smarter decisions about when and where to divert surplus energy, for example, maintaining specific temperatures in different hot water zones or interfacing with thermal stores more effectively.

Optimise with Economy Tariff Sensing (eSense)

Make the most of cheaper off-peak electricity rates. The Relay & Sensor Board includes an 'eSense' input, designed for connection to an economy tariff meter (230V AC sensing). This allows the eddi to recognise when lower electricity tariffs are active (like Economy 7) and potentially prioritise heating during these times, complementing the primary function of diverting surplus solar panel energy.
