FAQ
Q. I do have a Daikin Altherma Heat Pump, but have not yet setup ESPAltherma. Can you recommend me what ESP device to buy
A. You’re completely free to buy any ESP device you want, but it’s important to realise it’s impossible for me to test or support all ESP device variants out there.
In can only try to give support when an M5Stick C Plus 2 is used.
Q. I can’t get ESPAltherma working, can you help me?
A. This topic is primarily for supporting the Daikin Altherma App for Homey. One of the prerequisites is a working ESPAltherma publishing its information to an MQTT broker.
Please visit ESPAltherma at Github to get support on installing and configuring ESPAltherma
Q. I think the Power Usage and Energy Consumption aren’t accurate.
A. Yes, that can be. There is only a current sensor in your heat pump which isn’t enough to get actual Power Usage and Energy Consumption so the app calculate these values based on an assumed grid voltage of 230V. In reality the grid voltage will fluctuate. Please see How to: Use actual grid voltage for Power usage, Energy consumption, and Coefficient of Performance (COP) calculations to get more accurate values.
