Best option for controller upgrade? - Grant Aerona
Fairly new heat pump owner - Grant Aerona 3 10kw - and getting to grips with the thing. Just today finally got smart meter installed which allows access to variable rate tarrifs (Octopus Cosy) but the install (ECO4) came only with the (non smart) Aerona Remote Controller, a generic heat/water timer and a Drayton RF thermostat. So as far as I can tell the only thing I can control is a flat target temperature, and an on-off timer schedule. (unless im missing something in the Remote Controller).
To take advantage of the variable tariff I want to be able to program a heating curve such that I boost the target temp by a couple of degrees during cheap hours, and drop it by a couple during peak time, right?
So whats my best option for upgrading this current setup so that I can get more control, without spending a fortune more? If its something I might be able to install myself then all the better!
Thanks all!
