This is insane! What happens when it breaks down (because it will)? What happens when it gets hacked (because it will)? What happens when workin...
On the face of it, perhaps, but we do want the pump to take all the heat the heat pump is delivering. But 'set to max' is a bit opaque to say the leas...

No you're not confused! There are actually two problems visible here: (1) heat pump can't quite cope during periods of low OATs (IAT falls and stays...
Yes, though it is very tedious and boring doing it. I have a python script that does it manually over modbus (by manually, I mean I have to set the ne...
Another chart showing the Midea heat pump can't quite cope in cold weather. Blue upper chart is outside air temp (OAT), lower green chart is indoor ai...
