@kennergf @clickhere @stancarey @helvick Battery as option, I'd say (for the moment, till battery prices come down). Please write to your local TDs and Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment Darragh O'Brien asking for this! Contacts here https://www.gov.ie/en/department-of-climate-energy-and-the-environment/ and if a journalist, address it to the Press Office! #Climate #ZeroInterestClimateLoan #SolarPanels #HeatPump

☀️ Our best April yet! We're thrilled to share our solar generation report. Record April production (610 kWh!) covered 91% of our house usage and resulted in huge savings compared to the new price cap. The West/North facing panels are now coming more and more into play.

Fascintating approach towards greenhousing using heatpumps:

Still working my way through the figures here:

Very chewy indeed! :D

Getting the consistent temperatures would give at least one extra harvest per year.... :D

LMFAO the company I bought #smartthermostats from wants me to #beta test their newest model, in the #summer of all seasons of the year. Like why? My #thermostats are off all summer since they are for #baseboard #heaters, they should be doing the beta testing for this in #winter, do beta testing for the #AC & #heatpump thermostats in the summer instead. #smarthome

One side effect of having a new heat pump installed for the house is, our radon levels have risen. *sigh* We are going to have to pay for remediation work this summer.

Just published my DIY integration for the Tecalor THZ 5.5 Eco heat pump 👨‍🔧

➡️ USB → Raspberry Pi → ser2net → AppDaemon → MQTT → Home Assistant

No cloud, no vendor lock-in.
It can even replace the ISG gateway for basic read access.

Fair warning: the code is a bit messy — written while debugging real issues with the heat pump and learning along the way 😅

But it works and might help others in the same situation.
