@andrewj my solar inverter has a monitoring system reporting loads every 5 mins. I can easily tell when the HP is on and how hard its working. Once ive finished all the rebuilding, just fitted 50m2 of new ceiling in the kitchen/lounge, ill look at a better monitoring system
Just updating that ocotpus are still in touch with me, the noise is not fully resolved. Trying to coordinate a fan replacement so we can say for sure it is the fan in my unit.
There was another firmware update 3 days ago which has significantly improved COP again. I saw my first ever instantaneous COP above 6 at 10C outside and the ramp up has changed significantly. It seems to get into, and stay in, steady state far better now.
Looking at the Facebook group this was rolled out to quite a few people 👍.
@agentgeorge I am on Firmware Version 5.4.2 and have seen a change in how the heat pump operates below 5 degrees over the last few days. Runs a lot more steady.
@harrisonc If it isn't a stupid question, how do you find the firmware version number? I have not noticed a difference in performance of late, and a COP of 5 or above is a rarity for me. Bring it on.
@kevh I have to go into the installer mode and check the version number.
The new behavior seems to kick in after 5 degrees. You can see below where the red line is when the outdoor temp is below 5. The peak just after is the hot water. The green circle is a new behavior as well where it seems to boost to get the flow temp up after a restart. The pink is also new, normally it would be fluctuating like crazy here but it is now pretty stable.
I will have to see how it goes when it gets even colder but hopefully this is a more stable control loop.
@harrisonc it measures electric exactly and heat within 8% of my MID meter so that's pretty damn good.
It's not HA
