I recently installed a 5kW Gen6 Samsung ASHP (AE050RXYDEG-EU) in my house which obviously has lots of monitoring

I’ve recently installed a Samsung ASHP (AE050RXYDEG-EU) at my house.

To my knowledge this is the only HP we’ve been able to get data from easily. I would recommend a Samsung HP if you’re interested in this sort of stuff. I’m also getting excellent performance.

Update: here’s a link to live monitoring data from this ASHP: Emoncms - app view dashboard

The data is also on HeatpumpMonitor.org
