It'd be amazing if someone put together some kind of dynamic calculator that could take electricity and natural gas prices and examine inside temperatures based on a smart thermostat system and rejig the cutoff temperature based on all of it.
- patmorgan23 3y agoBet you could do this in home assistant
- davidw 3y agoYeah, if I could figure out the calculations to use and source all the data...
- ZeroGravitas 3y agoThere are hybrid heat pumps that do exactly this.
- pjc50 3y agoMy Vaillant system claims to do that, but it doesn't have dynamic input of pricing so you have to type it in on the head unit. I'm not sure it's even possible to get an API for dynamic pricing of UK energy prices.
- bdsa 3y agoOctopus have a tariff with dynamic electricity pricing: https://octopus.energy/smart/agile/ https://octopus.energy/smart/agile/ There's a (third-party?) dashboard of the data here: https://agile.octopushome.net/dashboard https://agile.octopushome.net/dashboard
- pjc50 3y ago46.73p per unit at peak time while the average is roughly equal to the regular tariff? That seems like a bad deal. Does make it very clear where the afternoon peak is though, and that's a nice dashboard.
