I’ve taken locations and the stats using their API endpoints and have made a very basic map,
of course the locations aren’t actually exactly where the pumps are but they will resolve to the town/city mentioned.
The one stat showed at the moment is all time COP using the [/system/stats/all] and [/system/list/public.json] endpoints. and the “running_cop” endpoint for the COP data
Nice work @shed.gay it’s great being able to see these on a map! Doing something like this has been on our list of things to add to HeatpumpMonitor.org for a while. It could be used as a way to find nearby installers as well.
perfect!
Could I suggest a few things to add to HPMon, which where things which tripped me up here,
Better Location Form Boxes.
Currently the location box just allows the user to input whatever, I completely understand that the majority of users would not want to input their entire address (and nor should they be able to from a user safety vector). But perhaps you could support the first half of a postcode if people were happy with that. postcodes.io is a good open source MIT licensed, source of british postcodes.
I used openstreetmap.orgs API for location finding to get the Lat and Lon coordinates. I found that most of the time simply having a form entry for county/region and another for country could have fixed this, I have manually fixed the locations of some of the pumps on this map as for example id=326 is resolving to a place called south devon in USA rather than UK. I found 5-10 of these “colonial” heat pumps and another 5 or so that where not resolving at all such as id 87 -
I’d love for you to make a Map a priority! I think there’s something very relatable about it, if someone who is new to heat pumps can see what the nearest pump to their house is doing, it makes it very human!
From my brief findings there is less than a .25 COP difference between north and south in the UK. Which is less than I would have thought! (showing that it’s likely all down to good system design!
Also the source code is on github too, all MIT License, if you need me to put a clause in somewhere about data sources I’d be very happy to! (but I have linked back to HPmon) GitHub - Johnr24/heatpump
Looks great @shed.gay
I’m based close to the home of original heat geeks, so some decently performing systems, just a shame mine isn’t one of them . Not yet anyway…
Is there a way to have mutliple sites label in different positions? For my town Farnham, Surrey there are a few sites on top of each other, the COP values are overlaying each other and the label only seems to display one sites.
e.g.,
I feel like there’s some decent YouTube content to be found here… HeatGeek improve an “Electrification of Heat” trial heat pump install (my YouTube title game isn’t the best ).
I’d definitely watch, might be worth reaching out to them or maybe Adam lurks on this very forum
I’d definitely be up for that, I’ve taken it as far as I know how, so would need them for next steps. If you have any ideas on how to contact them ping me a message
Well done @shed.gay good to see the regional spread of systems. Would be nice to reference the mean outside temperature field to help make COP comparison a bit more meaningful.
I reckon you’ve probably taken it as far as is possible with your oversized Daikin given that you’ve carefully optimised the settings etc? You have arguably done that to HeatGeek standard already
It would be great to find a few systems that are still performing sub 2.5 and work out how much performance can be improved with careful optimisation of settings + removal of over complicated zoning controls, vs the more costly interventions such as full unit replacement.
