I've got one on order. I have a feeling there are some issues with one or the bathrooms. The thermostat is in the hall just outside the door and the bathroom seems to be very cool even though we have this temperature higher than the other stats for this reason.

I can't seem to find a fuse labelled for this but the ASHP was working. This is driving me insane! 4.73kWh??? Only for a couple of seconds then dropped back to just over 2kWh.

I can't seem to find a fuse labelled for this but the ASHP was working.

It's the clamp one.

I'll have to look at the manual for the controller MWR-WW10N.

Ovens/coffee machine are off are on standby, where the clock is on but nothing else. Then there is just the fridge and freezer and router and sewage treatment plant but they are all things that are normally on. No lights on. The only thing we don't normally have on is the slow cooker for tea. We turn everything else off at the plugs like TVs, microwave etc. We currently have nothing charging. There is nothing else I can think of! I just caught a spike. Turned off heat pump.

Hmmmm this is going to be a trial and error. Now I know this I'll wait til it goes up again and see what else I can turn off. Wife is in the garage so let me check she didn't have something on up there.

We have had some mixed days this week but each day I've been looking at the solar and we have had between 4.5-6kWh each day from this. What I don't know is how much of it has gone to the immersion via the Solic and how much we used ourselves.

Here you go:

Yep the solar PV is connected up.

It's the heat pump. The cost current shot up to 3.23 turned off the HP at the fuse and it dropped to 420w. When the reading on the cost current was 580w I turned off the HP and the meter dropped to 450w so when the HP calls for heat that seems to account for the increase. I will over the course of the week be able to see what happens when we use larger appliances.

Here is the HP details taken from the handover pack from Alto.

Yep when I see it shoot up again I'll turn the HP off and see if it's that!

Yep they were quite dismissive. With the help of @Ultima357 who has the same heat pump I've been through all the settings etc and am now pretty confident it's settings are right. Before we had these really poor temperatures it seemed to be performing pretty well. I am just hoping when we have our EWI this is going to make a lot of difference but it's good to keep monitoring it especially during these sorts of temperatures. By contrast the week from 30/01 to 05/02 we used only 257 of units for the heat pump in a week.

Sat in house nothing extra plugged in since I said it was fairly static at 800-900w and then this... Seconds later.. and it's now between 500-600w. It has to be the heat pump for our heating because we haven't changed anything else.

Sort of (there is a setting but the installation company said this wasn't entirely accurate). It does give me a daily figure but this is obviously based on a 24 hour period each day, where as I check the HP meter and the main meter reading each day at the same time (rather than from midnight to midnight which is what the Samsung gives as the usage each day) and am able to take off the HP meter reading to give our 'other' use. I did look on the Samsung settings and from last Friday (that would be from midnight last Friday to the time now) it is showing on the Heat Pump itself as 435 units where I did it from last Friday lunchtime to this Friday lunchtime and got 390 units.

Wouldn't this be included in our 'other' electricity units, e.g. the 60 units this past week that weren't on the Heat Pump?

The Current Cost monitor is now at 880-900w and pretty steady. We have the Quooker tap and it didn't really make much difference when my other half made me a drink.

We have the ASHP to heat the water on a schedule. It only comes on for a set period around tea time. We have found that having it on for a few hours around tea time/early evening means we have plenty of hot water to see us through. E.g. This was one morning after the hot water had been off almost 10 hours (after we had had showers the night before). By lunchtime it had dropped a bit. So, what I'm saying is we don't have the hot water consistently heated by the heat pump it's timed.

I didn't no. I will get one. How do I use it if we have LVT flooring?

It could have been due to settings on the heat pump but I'm now confident in the past few days there is nothing but when the Solic is generating the meter on the immersion goes up.

Nope we have a separate meter one for immersion one for HP. I can see the immersion and I was checking this and in the space 2 weeks of monitoring this it only went up 4 units. Every setting to do with the immersion on the heat pump is off which includes the disenfectent cycle on the heat pump. What I have noticed is if any solar is going to the immersion (you know when it's working as the Solic lights up green) so for today for example as it's sunny, the meter on the immersion goes up. I don't know if this is normal.

This week (since last Friday afternoon) has been the worse for units of electricity for the ASHP. We started good with 30-40 units at the weekend for the heat pump. And the week has been terrible. We are up to between 60-70 units for the heat pump with all our room stats remaining on between 20 and 20.5 degrees. Since yesterday afternoon the HP is already on 71 units! Temperatures here have been between -5 and -1 degrees all week and it 'feels' around -7. It's bitter. How I wish the external insulation was in because our bills are huge. Total consumption for the week 390 units of heat pump and '60' other units. What I'm yet to establish is why in some 24 hours periods our 'other' use is 3 units and at other times 18! We now have an electricity monitor and I've just watched it go from 300w to 3.2kWh and I've no idea why as no room is calling for heat and we haven't turned on any big appliances....

I'll definitely use them for bedroom lights, we have spots elsewhere and already sorted our dining room light. We got a few bits from Amazon Warehouse on their 20% clearance days which are probably some of the same suppliers on Ali Express (not just lighting but bathroom showers Mira etc).

You lost me at Rasp Pi ? Unless it's the sweet shortcrust pastry variety
