Improve efficiency: Have a big hot water store and delay heating it until it's warm outside

I’ve implemented a multi-stage algorithm to decide if we should heat the hot water. Note that I only have a sensor at the bottom of the tank so as soon as someone showers, the tank appears cold to my code. Tap usage is so small it doesn’t register. If the tank is cold then we heat it up after 10:00. If the tank is warmish (say over 30) then we defer heating it until 12:00 so it’s warmer outside. Even in the Winter that gives us a chance that the solar diverter might top it up a bit. Notably…

Notably the demand shaper app in Emoncms should allow me to do that agile tariff/ CO2 bit. That’s part of the reason I’m doing all this work to integrate, such as this app
