Describe the feature

Ability to control the Cosy 6 heat pump

Expected behaviour

Ability to toggle the heating/hot water via the octopus API with the Octopus heat pump Cosy 6 Octopus

Use Case

ability to trigger heat pump to run hot water/heating during off-peak periods ( EG: Extra IOG Slots )

Hi and thanks for the feature request.

This has been raised in the past and the consensus was that it would be better to use the heat pumps local API where possible for the best experience. I'm assuming the Cosy 6 doesn't have a local API and is not a white labeled product.

If so, this could be added but as I don't have a Cosy 6 would be difficult to test. In the API there's is also multiple references to heat pumps (heat pump and octoheatpump), so will take some trial and error to work out which ones to use.

This will require some additional demand before I attempt at adding it, unless you're wanting to contribute a solution for which I'm happy to collaborate on.

I would be happy to share my key so you can connect and develop if you wish? Josh Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Thank you for the offer, but I have a policy of not accepting other people's api keys. It might be in the future some diagnostic endpoints are added to try and track the endpoints down.

For future reference, if this feature was to be picked up, it would be good to get an idea of what features/abilities people expect to be exposed. I don't have a heat pump, so Im not sure what is/isn't useful. It would also help in the future at prioritising features if/when this is implemented.

There is a new undocumented service called octopus_energy.diagnose_heatpump_apis available in v13. If you run it, it will give output which will help point in the right direction in which APIs to use to provide this feature in the future (no timeline)
