I must confess that I am unconcerned by the buffer/volumiser tank, though at the time it was another item to shoehorn into the limited space we had available.

What I do want, and not sure where to start, is to get Aira to, at least, release a API that can be used by Home Assistant, to read the ASHP operational state and consumption. At best, release a supported Home Assistant Integration. In the meantime, I am contemplating using a Shelly EM unit with CT to at least monitor the electrical consumption. There are HA integrations/HACS for Octopus, GivEnergy and I have a few Power Monitoring smart plugs for individual sockets/devices, but the consumption by the Aira system is just lumped into the "untracked consumption".

Anyone any thoughts?

Having joined the Aira owners group on Facebook (for some heat pump research I am part of), they have completely locked the system down. I’m also suspicious of the COP’s being given too. In my opinion, their designs are sub-optimal for homeowners (good for them though) and I’m sure if we had independent monitoring it would show this.

Richard, Rich, Dick, Captain or Pirate... I answer to them all in any sequence! 🏴‍☠️☠️👍
