I worry I've messed my Samsung settings up somehow
In spring I suffered from an overpowered heat pump causing an excessively hot house due to weather compensation not being able to run cool enough. After consulting here I changed the settings so the thermostats turned it off when the temp got too warm. 2091 to 1.
This seemed to work well in spring stopping the overheating and bringing the monthly electricity usage down a bit.
Now it's fully warm though the thermostats are never requesting the heat pump to turn on but my electricity usage seems stubbornly high. We tend to get through a fiver a day which we were nowhere near in the August when I first got the heat pump (and it was never in for heating).
I also on occasion walk in and see the water outlet (which I think is heating not water, but may be wrong) at a high temperature eg 60c
Does anyone have any idea what I may have done wrong? Or does a fiver a day electricity seen reasonable (5 bed house, 4 people, a few gadgets, HP water heating) in this weather? Heat pump is a 12kw r290 one.
Thanks in advance
Is the heat pump internet connected?
I'm asking to know if we could take a look at the data from it remotely.

Not bad at a fiver , I am 6 to 7 pounds , total electricity and only two of us, I am in scotland , Elgin , so colder nights .
No buffer and no Homely or otherwise.
@terry Hmm makes it tough to figure out remotely what's going on. The water outlet temp shouldn't be 60C though.
I would say:
- Did you try turning the heating off on the Samsung controller?
- What's the daily energy consumption of the heat pump? You should be able to see that on the Samsung controller under Energy Information if I remember correctly

@hcas thanks, I didn't realise I could look at energy. Usage attached, operation time too
So it seems to be using very little, except for Tuesdays when it does a legionella cycle (would that explain the 60c? Although my 60c photo was a Wednesday)
So looking at my octopus account my electricity usage is only a tiny bit up on Tuesdays, which makes me think the heat pump isn't a great contributor and I've sent you all on a wild goose chase.
Sorry but thank you for educating me on my ability to view energy usage.
