You can see below the heat pump cycling on and off over night and then not working at all during the day. Its not ideal, but its just the nature of cold nights and mild days.

in regard to the house feeling warm it does and can easily become too warm, the heating isn't really in use yet as the house is saying warm via large windows and evening sun. The smallest bedroom did struggle last winter overnight but I am going to check the insulation when it the temperature drops as I think this room is losing a lot more heat than any other.

Efficiency is harder to tell not having access to detailed figures, The apps estimated figures also record about 2Kwh per day even when not in use. looking over the info I have it looks like 2.5COP at my best guess 

The system was probably cycling about 5 or more times when just the smaller bedroom was calling for heat so less than ideal.

The downstairs manifold shows a nice temperature drop however the upstairs looks to be only 1c or 2c drop. I think on the above advice I will buy some cheap aquarium thermometers and check everything out.

When the temperature drops, I will try putting all the stats up at the moment it would just overheat the house. Based on last year I would guess downstairs will overheat and upstairs will feel a bit cooler 

Did you ever get your MMSP working correctly?

The flow and return temps should be about 4 degrees difference.  It's easy to tell this by touch so it's worth having a feel of the rad pipes  that to confirm (or otherwise) if Melcloud is reporting correctly. It's important the temp probes are installed correctly (mine weren't).  

How did you figure out your probes weren’t installed correctly @kev-m?

Hi Mars,

I suspected because I thought the rads were hotter than the compensation curve was set at. I bought some cheap aquarium thermometers and confirmed that the flow was actually 4 degrees hotter than the comp curve said it should be.  I got the installer to fix it when they were fitting my MMSP and it's OK now.

One thing you could try is to turn all stats up full and see what happens, e.g, do some parts of the house end up warmer than others  This will also allow you to tweak your compensation curve so that it works without the room stats.

I only have the standard MELcloud app for reference until today it has been on the standard weather curve this would heat downstairs fairly quickly and turn off.

unfortunately the app wasn't setup until April this year, I do remember when the one bedroom was the only room calling for heating seeing the heatpump cycle Alot. (I'm not sure how often it should cycle in an hour but the graph of flow and return temperatures was very spiky)

after looking through the forum I have adjusted the weather curve today this had a flow temperature of about 31C this morning while heating.
