Sensible

Sensible lets the heat pump you already have in Homey regulate on the temperature where you actually are, not up by the ceiling. It learns how far the heat pump's own sensor is off compared to your room sensors and corrects the setpoint by exactly that, so the heat pump keeps running steadily at low power where it is most efficient – like a Sensibo with a room sensor, without extra hardware. Add a Sensible heating device, choose the heat pump and one or more room sensors, and use it like any thermostat. Optional extras include away and night temperatures, vacation mode, fireplace detection, a power meter, emergency and cold weather fan, and pause on open windows. Sensible also works with panel heaters and floor heating thermostats, so the whole house can be controlled the same way. Questions and details are in the Sensible topic on the Homey Community Forum.

What’s new

Version 1.25.0 — Heat pumps keep running at low power near the target: unless the room is clearly too warm, Sensible no longer takes the setpoint more than 0.5 °C below what the heat pump reads at the target (an inverter stops when its setpoint is below its own reading, so the room fell and it started again – thanks to a tester for the detailed analysis). New settings: Highest setpoint sent to the heater, and how far below its reading a heat pump may be set. New: Forget what is learned (configuration page and flow card), for example after moving the room sensor. Heat pumps with a power meter now learn how fast the room warms up also while the inverter modulates at low power (before, only high power counted, so many heat pumps never learned it – which the predictive brake and Smart start need). Less overshoot after a long time below the target: when the room reaches the target, the built-up correction is halved at once instead of slowly unwinding.
