As an aside OVO have now opened up their 24/7 15p/kWh tariff to Viessman HPs "Introducing Heat Pump Plus, now compatible with your connected Viessmann heat pump. It lets you power your heat pump anytime for 15p per kWh. That could save you up to £229 a year on heating bills versus your standard variable tariff. There’s limited availability for Heat Pump Plus with Viessmann heat pumps. So switch to OVO now, and add it to any energy plan - for free."

I’d like a home-wide energy AI that would take into account all of the factors you mentioned, but also our time-of-day energy tariff, and control all of your renewable technology and automatically optimise everything, with no human interaction; I don’t want to spend my time faffing around with apps (or even a single app), it must do what is best, automatically. However, as you say, that doesn’t exist yet (Home Assistant notwithstanding), so we’re taking an organic approach and letting the various systems just get on with it. This starts with a great energy tariff, we use Octopus Agile, which (for us, mostly) delivers the utopia of a symmetric tariff… we get paid 15p/kWh to export and are charged ~15p/kWh to import. Our solar panels then just generate as much as they can, run the house and dump the rest into the grid to be used later. Our Mixergy tank has an AI that knows how much water we need and when, so draws power for that. Our ASHP knows when the house needs heat, so draws power for that. And, in the future, we’ll charge an EV too. It's the symmetric tariff that’s key to all this because it acts like a giant, infinite, long-term battery. For instance, we generate excess energy in the summer and use that in the winter to heat our home, but at no financial loss. There’s also no loss associated with charging and discharging a battery. However, we do have a battery and that’s important because it covers the evening peak pricing, 4-7pm. Without that, we’d have to buy very expensive electricity and the tariff is no-longer symmetric. Anyway, this is our approach. Am I missing something? We’re all learning so please let me know if I’ve got it wrong… it’s all about the tariff, yeah?

Home Assistant FTW....

I use Home Assistant but it's not essential to get the most out of your home energy systems. It does allow you to connect systems from different suppliers together but to get the most out of your system you need the correct tariff and device setup what Home Assistant allows you to do is get all the data in one place so you can better see what's happening

a advertisment and no the will not be the first one they have only the epidemic woke solar thinking the same woke that made germany broke.

Home assistant

Perhaps I missed the details in the video, when I went to the Viessmann site I couldn’t see any indication their software works with non-Viessmann infrastructure such as givenergy do you have a link to the software you’re referring to? It would certainly be helpful.

The problem with Home Assistant is that it requires a lot of user configuration and relies on a lot of third party add on to get everything to talk to each other. No commercial provider will sell this as a solution to thier customers, its designed for us tinkerers who don't mind things stopping working, needing an update and a reboot (despite the residents of our house complaining that there's no hot water). If this solution from Viessmann can do all that then I'd buy one!

Home assistant is the only true system.

Congratulations.

Home assistant with solar assistant should be able to combine all your home smarts

There does need to be some thought about an open standard for the integration of a lot of the thing in ones home. IOT is here and we should be demanding more from the suppliers so they can work together efficiently and easily. There are some attempts at this but I would like my heat pump to work with my PV and my EV charger, not so that they will just look after them selves but so that I can have them talk to each other and not have to look at three different apps and set them individually.

Maybe not what you asked for, but Home Assistant possibly could be up to the task. This may not be for everyone as it would require a spare PC or Raspberry PI running in the home. But it would be a central location for the info.

The only thing they told me was about those two switches for the water pressure. They were in such a hurry to get away. And the two switches I can’t turn!

Very helpful. Got more info from this video than from my installers. In fact I got no info from my installers.

Love the content, you really know your stuff btw Dan Ireland 🇮🇪🎉

Can the unit be installed at a distance of 15m from the water cylinder tank?

So if you change your boiler, radiators, pipe work, cupboard space, and add in a large cylinder, then you can have a heat pump???? So basically repipe your whole system and then you can have an overpriced air con unit that probably won’t heat your hot water to the right temperature and probably won’t heat your rooms, unless you have massive radiators fitted, and will cost a considerable amount of money to install, but you will be doing good for the environment!! Dream on, get back in your Tesla and go and scam someone else. Nothing more than snake oil salesmen.

Might be good info, but TLDL

I have the GivEnergy All in One with the 13.58kWh, using two solaredge inverters (10 and 6), the gateway can only take the 6000W one as it is limited to 40 amps. So my app readings are not accurate at all.

My handover was less than 10 minutes, and I've learnt so much from your video, thank you.

LOLIf you see flames RUN😢

Great to see a woman demonstrating so competently that the industry has moved on

Wow I want that heat pump! What's the model and tons or btu? Thanks.

did you do a video on the basis of having a preplumbed cylinder?

110 cylinger and put it next to asph out side . Like a mini plant room .

Do you guys do giv energy all in one batteries with solar in Sutton coldfield?

Thanks for showing the unit, looks much nicer with the black grill in my opinion 👌🏼

Nice job! I'm getting this heat pump installed but with the Daikin HW cylinder, also having my gas supply capped off at the same time and looking forward to being a carbon neutral household.

What thread size for service, such as evacuating and filling with refrigerant is common for this Monoblock with R32? Split air conditioning systems have 1 service connection, which is 5/16 inch. But that is quite sufficient. Is this also the case with this R32 monoblock?

I don't know why I'm here, but she knows what she's talking about.

I love you

Plasma discharge- oxidizing the virus and bacteria, ok! And the air is circulated.. is it safe for living things?!! Like humans?

Is it possible to make a video about FCU?

Do you happen to know what the CADR (clean air delivery rate) is of this product?

Well, I'd be smiling like that if I bought that much for an installation

No is easy answer

If you've got an old property where insulation is thin forget it stick with gas

does anyone know how low the smaller versions (4 and 6kW) can modulate its power output?

If you had a power cut in the middle of winter how long would the powerwall last. I'm guessing the heat pump would pull more than 5kw and the powerwall would shut down. I'm interested because i have a 12kw air source heat pump and looking into PV and battery storage.

Sorry but these videos just aren't the same without Emilie 😍

Longi 435w panels are now £85

Great video. I have a Daikin Altherma 3 with a buffer tank and separate CH circulation pump, the system was installed with Hive controls (wish I’d gone with Madoka), but Hive seems to be the only control of the circulator pump. As an example, the circulator pump stays on when the DHW is heating. I’m thinking of moving to Homely controls which will mean removing Hive, but what then controls the circulation pump? I would have thought there would have been a volt free contact in the Daikin unit for the circulator pump, but looking at your wiring info that doesn’t appear to be the case.

I wondered over to another website when she said let me take you upstairs to see where the magic happens 0:42

Ne surtout pas acheter cette marque j'en possède une pour un plancher chauffant l'installation ma coûté 18000 euros mise en service par les techniciens Daikin 450 euros pour la mise en service par -1 degrés le groupe est complètement givré quand il fait 15° dehors je n'arrive pas à monter à 21 ° elle fait 8kw et alimente juste un plancher chauffant de 125 M2 j'habite à Bordeaux le service Daikin est inexistant ils vous balade et vous demande encore des frais une autre personne qui à une alterma 3 à les mêmes problèmes avec une énorme consommation je vous conseille du Toshiba et Mitsubishi par rapport à ce produit je suis au dessus de la norme RT2012 fuir cette marque

First to comment before this goes viral and Michelle becomes the next KZfaqr to appear on I’m a celeb.

No ETHERNET port on that AC Coupled Inverter. meaning you'll have to buy Givenergys overly expensive 2.4Ghz only usb Wifi dongle which will cost you around £49.99 including VAT which is a piss take. So buy a kit with 10 year warranty, then get their proprietary £49.99 dongle which is 2.4Ghz only, meanwhile all the newer WiFi 6/6e which has not long come along with the current released Wifi 7 devices are all moving away from 2.4Ghz frequency. So is it far fetched to believe it may even be dropped from future WiFi AP/ Routers in the coming years, the same way older devices dropped 802.11a/b/g. If so will we the have to buy yet another £49.99 overly priced dongle to get the more up to date standard. Also worth noting lora devices cost under a £10 to make, look on KZfaq for tutorials. So let me guess how much GivEnergy charge for Lora devices. oh look £150 - £200... LOL All of a sudden this cost effective solution is looking less and less cost effective. With all of the £2-10 generic USB to Ethernet adapters and generic USB wifi adapters available out there which can be had on ebay, amazon, aliexpress or anywhere else for that matter and GivEnergy 'the sustainable energy green company' opts to go proprietary on these devices. Absolute jokers!

Great idea. Shame I'm too far north

Where are you based?
