Heisha Weather Control – Adaptive Heat Pump Manager
Home Assistant add-on for Panasonic Aquarea heat pumps with HeishaMon that uses weather forecasts and a learning algorithm to optimize water temperature and energy efficiency automatically.
Overview
Heisha Weather Control is an intelligent Home Assistant add-on that optimizes Panasonic Aquarea heat pump operation using integrated weather forecasts and a self-learning algorithm. It adjusts water temperatures proactively based on predicted outdoor conditions rather than reacting to temperature changes.
Features
- Weather Forecast Integration: Uses weather API data to anticipate heating demand before temperature drops occur
- Learning Algorithm: Continuously learns your home's thermal characteristics to improve predictions over time
- Adaptive Heating Curves: Automatically adjusts water temperature setpoints based on forecast data and learned building thermal mass
- MQTT Control: Communicates with the heat pump through HeishaMon's MQTT interface
- Home Assistant Add-On: Installs as a native HA add-on with configuration UI
How It Works
The add-on fetches weather forecast data and combines it with historical performance data from your heat pump. Over time, it learns how your home responds to different weather conditions and adjusts the heating curve proactively. Instead of waiting for the outdoor temperature sensor to register a change, it pre-adjusts water temperature based on the forecast.
Benefits
- Reduced energy consumption through predictive heating
- More stable indoor temperatures by anticipating weather changes
- Automatic optimization without manual heating curve adjustments
- Continuous improvement through machine learning
Requirements
- Home Assistant with Supervisor (for add-on support)
- HeishaMon device connected to a Panasonic Aquarea heat pump
- MQTT broker
- Internet connection for weather forecast data
