Energy Consumption Energy Monitoring

  Decent low energy cost for all electric heating 3.5KW heat pump and a 2KW electric convection heater. Energy consumption The raw data is here  The data shows the device switching on and off under control of Hubitat 

Fun fact 1 degree C additional heat exchange from ducting in loft

 We get around a 1C boost to the fresh air from loft heat exchange with the duct. The loft is consistently between 4 and 15 C hotter than the outside air and even at night boosts heat in the fresh air duct to the living room. An unanticipated benifit

The ERV Data Acquisition System

  Progress over the weekend with the ERV DAS The 999's are me testing the sensor disconnected response. I have a Pitot tube left over from an RC plane I think I might put it in the inlet air stream Pin assignment in the Arduino sketch DHT dht[ 4 ] = {DHT( 4 , DHTTYPE),DHT( 0 , DHTTYPE),DHT( 2 , DHTTYPE),DHT( 14 , DHTTYPE)}; There are 4 DHT22's inside heat exchanger lid, shown below.
