Newbie, just about to setup next few weeks

Integrations

Hi All,

Thanks for reading my post, I’m just about to have our heatpump installed in about 3 weeks time, and I’ve bought the level 3 heatpump monitoring kit, which the installers will install for me. I suspect their ability to do much more than install the kit and the HP will be minimal, which is absolutely fine.

We will get the basics up and running, but wondered if i can feed my local weather data from my own weather station (which i have in Home Assistant already) , and my (average) collective Shelly H&T temperature and humidity sensor (i have 9 in the house, & will create an average house temperature), from Home Assistant back up to Emoncms and then back into my live dashboard.

It appears from my searching this might be possible, but some guidance would be helpful please. I did search the documentation, but suspect most people use the default weather /temperature, which I’m assuming is met office for your “area”?

The main reason I’m really interested in collecting this data, is i live quite high up and on the side of a wind effected hill and id actually prefer to capture actual temperature, rather than a generic data for a wider area which will be poor resolution to my actual location.

I did buy the internal temperature sensor, but, if i can service my HA data, that’d be fabulous and more wise friendly. :blush:

Any direction on where to start, if possible, would be massively, massively appreciated.

Have a great weekend,

AG

Hi Andy,

Thanks for ordering the L3 bundle.

Sure, it’s straightforward to get data from Home Assistant into Emoncms.org. You can use the Emoncms History HA integration

If you decide you don’t need the indoor sensor, it’s no problem to return it for a refund.

The L3 bundle is fully pre configured, you just need to power it up and connect to WiFi or Ethernet. Here’s the install guide: https://files.openenergymonitor.org/emonhp.pdf

Thanks Glyn, i really can’t wait to get started… The kit looks amazing and the data is going to be amazing.

It’s going to be very. Very interesting, as our house is entirely column radiators, (some need upgrading), so I’m absolutely fascinated to see how that performs compared to the typical panel radiators too. Should be very interesting and the data won’t lie.

Ah, that’s really very kind of you, I’ll probably use that, (temperature sensor initially), until i get the HA integration done, so thank you, but I’ll have a play with it. Before messing it all up with HA. :joy:

Brilliant, i had hoped that the HA integration would allow me to push some datasets into Emoncms, that’s brilliant. Why have 1 sensor, when you can have 9… :joy:. Having 9 will enable me to dial the heatpump curve and parallel offset faster, i expect, but let’s see.

Thanks for confirming Glyn, have a great weekend,
