Is it me or do the costs seem a little punchy? The heat pump monitoring system is 646 GBP. At local electrical prices, I'd have to save nearly 6 megawatts to see any kind of return.. and that's just on hardware cost, not including install.
- ilyt 4y agoLow volume means your NRE costs are good part of the price Also heat meter they use is almost 300 on its own so that's already near half the price
- ezconnect 4y agoMy heat pump comes with an app for energy monitoring and remote control and stores 2 years of energy usage. Too bad it doesn't have an API to integrate with other stuff.
- c_o_n_v_e_x 4y agoThis is the way forward. I see so many IoT start-ups coming up with sensor packages to retrofit onto existing equipment, however it almost always never makes economic sense due to the installation cost. The sensors and monitoring hardware ideally should be included in the machine/appliance at the factory.
