Hmm my first small heat pump simulation a few weeks ago:
Outdoor temperature -3°C
Flow temperature: boiler temperature 45°C (controlled via slope at 0.8)
Radiator in the living room, fully turned up. Other rooms not yet. Circulation pump unchanged.
Temperature in the living room: 20°C
The idea behind the instantaneous water heater was as follows:
I also want warm water in summer and in the transition period. With a heating element in the hygiene storage tank, I would then have to run the flow temperature higher than necessary and would lose the ability to cool in summer (even though this has never really been an issue before)?
Do I definitely need a descaling system with our hard water (21H)? So far, none has ever been installed and we have never been really bothered by the limescale.
Here is a small monitoring setup that I put together for my apartment:

Unfortunately, I haven’t yet found any radiator valves where the opening can truly be controlled via API. With mine (tado), I can only set the target temperature. Once this is reached, the radiators close. This would be the opposite of what I want in summer during cooling operation.
Many heat pumps apparently always have all radiators turned up fully and regulate the temperatures centrally via the heating curve. I understand the approach that it is basically better to give less gas than to regulate the speed via the handbrake. However, in our house extension there are the kitchen and guest room, which are hardly heated so far, since there is a wood stove in the kitchen, there is basically less heating demand, and the guest room is above it.
