# Smart load

### Method 1: Connecting using Gateway

<div align="left"><figure><img src="broken-reference" alt="" width="169"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* <mark style="color:blue;">Before connecting the smart load, ensure that a Gateway has been configured in the network and that the smart load port is not connected to a generator.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">Before connecting a Smart Home Device, please ensure that a Gateway is configured in the networking.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">The number of Smart Home Devices that can be connected is determined by the supported capacity of the Gateway.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">After adding the Smart Home Device to the App, you can switch theSmart Home Device on and off through the App. Alternatively, the system can remotely control the equipment on and off based on the actual running conditions and the SOC threshold you set.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">If you cannot locate the icon of the connected device, for example, an immersion heater, select "Other" and connect it. You can check the connected smart load on the "Device" screen.</mark>

### Method 2: Connecting using Shelly

* <mark style="color:blue;">You need to turn on the Bluetooth feature on the phone before connecting to Shelly.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">Shelly, SigenStor, and the mobile phone must be connected to the same WLAN.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">Shelly consists of smart plugs, smart relays, and other devices designed for power/energy monitoring and remote control of electrical loads.</mark>

* <mark style="color:blue;">For Shelly-related information, please refer to the user manual and specifications of the corresponding Shelly model.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">The table below shows the Shelly models supported by the Sigen residential series inverters and other relevant information. Please match them according to your actual situation.</mark>
