openenergymonitor/HeatpumpMonitor
This is a technical github repository for OpenEnergyMonitor open hardware and software heat-pump performance monitoring development.
Heat-pumps are a key component of zero carbon energy systems making it possible to provide heating efficiently from renewable energy, they are featured in many zero carbon energy scenarios such as ZeroCarbonBritain developed by the Centre for Alternative Technology and are also highlighted in David MacKay's book Sustainable Energy without the hot air.
By monitoring a heat-pump its possible to see how well it is working, diagnose problems and get a better understanding of how a key potentially zero carbon heating solution works, data gathered and shared from well performing systems could help de-mystify heat-pump operation and help improve performance by diagnosing any problems early.
The heat pump monitoring application guide in the main OpenEnergyMonitor guide is a good place to start, covering the different options, including the use of the main OpenEnergyMonitor hardware:
