Known issues

A list of known issues, problems, and confusion areas with Havenwise. The team will be actively working on some of these to improve them

Samsung energy consumption has increased during warmer weather

  • A recent change to the data we receive from some Samsung heat pumps means that the energy and cost data is being over-reported

  • During long periods where both the heating and hot water is inactive, the heat pump continues to report that electricity is being consumed - even when it is logically not.

  • Unfortunately, this isn't something we can fix easily on our side. We will continue to monitor the situation/

Heat pump temperature data lags slightly behind the manufacturer controller/app

  • The maximum delay should be 5 minutes for most brands. For some (e.g. Samsung, it is 2 minutes. This doesn't affect Havenwise operation, as it is not an on/off controller.

  • For room temperatures provided by a Shelly device, latency is about a minute when powered by cable. When powered by batteries, it updates whenever the Shelly changes by more than 0.5C.

Vaillant onboarding: Gateway serial number not recognised, when it is correct.

  • Usually this is due to having had a PCB replacement at some point. These heat pumps have an invalid serial number which is mostly 0s. This can be fixed by emailing Vaillant directly - they are quite responsive to this issue.
