I agree on the point of not wanting to end up with a brick due to obsolete software. Note though that heat pumps typically last 10-20 years.

- oblio 4y agoWhat happens to them after 20 years?
- blincoln 4y agoThis is extremely disappointing, given their price point. I've seen an oil furnace still running after 50 years with just basic maintenance. Did it cost 2-5 times as much in inflation-adjusted dollars as a heat pump does now? No.

I don't see why a heat pump wouldn't run for a long time. I imagine many people want to replace old heat pumps because newer ones are more efficient. But otherwise this is quite old and widely available tech, it should be possible to replace individual components that break down.
