Thanks, will check out that device! Lowest I've seen mine modulate to is 600 W, but rarely seems to do it...

I feel like the controller may be where the problem lies. Because Ecodan doesn't do Opentherm the Nest just acts as an on/off, and all the HP can see is the target temp at the main controller, which is in a cupboard next to the unit, and therefore has to be set quite high to make sure it operates

Thanks! It cycles more at higher external temps, less when it is cold (like last night). I guess it is fine if that seems to be the right mode of operation, I just had a sense it might be more efficient with slower, steadier operation (and maybe would heat the thermal mass better?)🤷

Thanks very much for these pointers Matthew, lots to check out there! And thanks @bensaltmarsh.bsky.social I will drop you a line separately

Thanks for this Ben -- as it happens this is part of background for work I'm doing with Nesta! Would be great to learn more about what evidence/experience NEA might have in this area

Thanks, will check out. I saw a nice looking product from gradient a while ago...

Thanks for that Tina!

Indirectly (so far) yes, thanks

Thank you! Am familiar with their great work but pointers welcome
