Ok so likely not setting the world on fire here for revolutionary controls but it may help some, especially here in the UK, where Octopus are installing a lot of these Dainkin units.

so they have 2 modes, LWT which runs and balances temps of a heat curve and ignores internal temps. It’s very efficient but doesn’t balance internal comfort without a lot of tinkering.
Then Madoka mode that uses the internal thermostat and constantly messes about with the heat pump, is not great at efficiency but does do comfort well.

So, behold. LWT with some internal reference for the best of both.

This automation will reference the internal thermostat every 30 minutes and then tweak the flow temperature by 1 up or down to help keep the room temp within the ideal mark of 20.5 and 21.5 degrees C.
Its max adjustment is +/- 5 to the flow temperature.

It also needs a helper to track that adjustment value which you can drop into your configuration.yaml

This has been keeping my house warm now for a good few weeks and stopping the house over heating whilst keeping the heat pump running slow and steady. Give it a look if you’re interested.
