An intriguing idea. But might it add additional complexity without any real benefit? Put another way, is there any harm associated with having a volum...
It might account for about a 10% difference (specific heat 4.2 vs 3.8), but it all depends on how Samsung (and Midea and all the others) do their calc...

@gorm - thanks very much for posting the link. Following it, I see it needs 462 lines of not easy to read or maintain code to access a Midea clone ove...
Yes, that all makes sense, it was how I had HA calculate kWh and COPs using statistics and templates. For example, to calculate the 24 hour trailing C...
Thanks, but link goes to 404 - any possibility you could re-post a correct link? @cashback - this interestingly shows what I have suspected, longe...
