Not necessarily: "nowcasts" are often pretty accurate and it would be less vulnerable to problems like sun reaching a sensor or being near a wall that...
Well, yes, but we also have forecasts of the outdoor temperature (and so the future efficiency of the heat pump) that most controllers ignore at prese...

I'm not sure those are the problems: the controller and its temperature sensor are on the wall of the landing, not near a radiator, not in a draught, ...
Mine doesn't do that! When in weather compensation mode, the controller changes to +/- adjustment of the curve. The ecodan pump only stops when the fl...
But it is also a fairly expensive fridge sat in your garden and a relatively small extra expense (I've been quoted £80 for our ecodan) hopefully to ke...
We do most of those already, so no saving to be found, except: My "local zero waste store" is a 3+ hour round trip by bike and not much better by ...
Why would we need ALCS implemented in those appliances? We just need someone to give us easy ways of getting the ALCS signals from the smart meter to ...
@editor It is truly bizarre that it persists to this day. When there were local electricity boards, it was more understandable, but isn't the national...
