Our setup does not include a heatpump, but @majordennisbloodnok has lots of experience in controlling this type of devices. 

In fact, whilst I do have experience getting things talking to other things (IT background and certainly enough knowledge and sense to avoid any claim of “genius”), I don’t do a great deal of actual controlling of my heat pump. There are plenty of others here much better able to advise on weather compensation settings.

However, in order for them to have a fighting chance, some screenshots of the device now set up in the app would be good. @polar-bear, your phone should have an on/off button on the right hand side and volume up/down buttons on the left hand side. If you press the on/off button and the volume up button at the same time, you’ll take a screenshot of whatever’s on your phone’s screen at the time. If you can take screenshots of all the bits of heat pump info and settings you think might be relevant in the app, then upload those screenshots here we collectively should be able to decypher the important stuff.

A word of caution, though; do take a good look at each of the screenshots and check it for personal info before uploading. If any screenshots show your name, email, phone number, location etc., don’t upload them, or at least not until you or your wife have done a bit of photo editing to blur out that info.

Also if you have a copy of the manual it would be useful to see it. The ones I have seen are really badly written and make no sense lol!

Attached photos of the pages that come up on the app

Also if you google AIROSD manual the next page comes up and this download is the manual that I have

…and I’m assuming the “more” option on the right of the menu at the bottom of the second picture is the option that prompted you for a password?

@majordennisbloodnok 

The 'more' button takes me to 

Setting/schedule/advance/version

It is the Advance that takes me to a password page....that's when I panic!

Right, I have had my first full month stats in. It is all a bit 'finger in the wind' stuff. I have averaged my normal monthly electric use (when the ASHP was not running) and taken this months reading and simply subtracted the two to get a rough guestimate of how much the ASHP is using.

To recap

Victorian cottage with mixed levels of insulation, 212 square metres.

5 bedroom, 4 reception rooms with mix of type 22 radiators and UFH

Open loop system, no buffer or LLH, ASHP is running 24/7, flow rate is approx 35C. 

November -3.9C lowest temp and 17.5C highest temp.

908KW total / 30.3KW per day/ 1.26KW per hour

House temp is 20.2C and 41.5% humidity

So all in all I am very happy with this, more importantly the wife is happy and finds the house much warmer and more comfortable. 

@polar-bear I see you have the most important metric firmly in mind 😁

@polar-bear Sounds good apart from humidity which is too low for furniture and best health.

@bontwoody That being ‘She Who Must Always Be Obeyed’ (That ‘A’ in the middle is not just advisory either!) Toodles (50th. wedding anniversary next July).

@polar-bear That’s what comes of living surrounded by weaving mills! To be serious; dehumidifiers are popular with some people and humidity may be increased by a water feature or just using bowls of water with wicking materials dipping into them. Toodles.

So your professional opinion is that good health dictates putting on the kettle for another cuppa to increase the humidity? 😉

Not sure I could disagree…
