Heat Pump Experimentation App - Release News

OK, that’s merged.

The heat pump experimentation app now includes the proportion of time the water pumps have been active in the time window. For example, it could look like this:

This is useful for reviewing if your attempts to run the heat pump continuously are working so the the pumps run all the time, or in the other direction, it will show you’ve been able to run your heat pump less time if you are trying to run an experiment where you try to turn the heat pump off.

I’ve tried to see if I can make this produce nonsense to hunt for bugs, but it seems to behave sensibly. It’s not as robust to weirdness as I might like so I may make it more cautious, but I won’t do another announcement here.

I opted not to use the section-heading because it would dilute the message in the heading. It would also be quite a lot of text. In other section-headings we have some compact data, but I couldn’t think how to represent this compactly without making it harder to decode. Maybe the icons for radiator and hot water tank would suffice. Let’s see what people think.
