Turning your heat pump off

Mars · 2023-04-15T07:21:15Z

I’m curious to know when people will be turning their heat pumps off this year… ours is still running, but may go off next week. On a related note, I’m also curious how people turn off their heat pumps. Our controller doesn’t allow me to just turn off the heating, but we still need the unit running for hot water. In our case, I turn off the external stats that call for heat… but if you don’t have stats, does your heat pump allow you to separate your central heating and hot water?

@robl thanks for that. Now I have to research reading Modbus in home assistant - HA does all my logging and reporting in the one place.

@steevjo Like you I don't need to know the full details of output etc. I know it works as the house is warm. I do however need to get a grip on it's consumption because our bills are inordinately high and becoming unsustainable. To this end I intend to enlist the services of @heacool to cast his expertise over my install. He isn't going to be cheap but neither are my electricity bills. The ASHP seems to be consuming way more than a lot on here.

I would need an electrician to install that device as I won't go near electricity but it looks like a good option. Octopus Energy are hopefully attending here on Tuesday to see if we can have a smart meter.
