ASHP standby power consumption, monitoring, turn off and back on because of power cut.

So I finally have an instance of the heater coming on. Displayed external temp was <9C and the crank heater was noted to come on for a short time during startup and as the unit ramped to capacity. The chassis (anti-ice) heater was called for a while too *after* startup

 

I can't be sure whether these events occurred purely at the 9C threshold or if coil or evap temp was relevant too so will continue to monitor. Certainly the unit didn't appear to be sitting with the crank heater on for hours on this occasion...

Was this displayed on the controller or are you monitoring the output pin from the pCO?

on the app actually, but you can see the contact state in IO Mask too. Next time it's energised I'll see if the current is monitored in the Carel service screen, too
