If building again - what to do differently?

Please forgive the amateur question, but how do I operate/link my standard Siemens device with this energy management system?

You just don’t get it. You have to stimulate the economy and buy all new devices ;)

It depends on the device and the energy management system, there simply is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, the integration of the simplest devices without much fuss is usually more straightforward than modern ones with app and butt-wiping function.

For example, my 15-year-old Constructa dishwasher has never complained and could be operated from anywhere.


Not at all. But you still have to load it yourself.

But only with overarching management of the fluctuating energy flows :cool:

Back to the original topic: With the knowledge and experience of the last two years, I would have

[*]Built with an architect and individual contracting
[*]Built with perimeter insulation under the floor slab
[*]Used the lower build height on the floor slab due to less necessary insulation as an installation level for all lines
[*]Made the intermediate ceiling thicker and then put all the lines for the upper floor in there
[*]Built with insulated gable roof and studio truss construction
[*]Installed photovoltaics right away
[*]Planned the utility room somewhat larger, planned the technology into the warm roof
[*]Used my "tile Alban" for all non-technical trades starting from the plaster
[*]Bought the heat pump right at the beginning
[*]Bought 30-50% more tiles instead of 10% more – strangely, this worked well for the floor tiles and the lower wall tiles. Only the upper wall tiles went wrong...

how do I operate/link my standard Siemens device with this energy management system

Siemens calls it "Home Connect" and then the devices connect to the WLAN.
Alternatively, after loading, use the timer function: start the washing cycle in 4 hours.
Various dryers can be set using the rotary switch, and as soon as the machine receives power from the switched socket, it starts.

Exactly, my washing machine and property are connected to Wi-Fi sockets, which I can easily turn on remotely. I let the devices run briefly and then turn off the sockets in the app, and if there is enough photovoltaic power, turn them back on.
