  • For some people logging out and back in has helped but I’ve seen multiple beehaw users state that this doesn’t work for them.

    This seems to be because beehaw is intentionally staying on an old Lemmy version.

    Not sure how the Dev wants to handle this since they’ve got enough work on their hands and this issue should resolve itself once beehaw upgrades.

    For now your best bet is to try re-logging and if that doesn’t work to roll back to a previous version of Eternity.





  • Not an expert but these systems are fairly self-contained and robust. A few things that can be checked easily is that the fan spins, the radiator is free of debris and some compressors might have a sight glass for the oil level.

    Any other checks regarding performance of the system, leaks and refrigerant level require you to perform a full refrigerant discharge and recharge. That takes special equipment and some time so no one in their right mind would do that for free, unless they can then force/guide you into some kind of upsell situation.

    Larger systems might have some kind of oil filter/catch-can that you might be able to check easily but I’m not too sure on that.

    After all heat pumps are just plain old A/C units with a reversible cycle.













  • If you have such a system up and running already you could try to modify it before ripping it out and starting from scratch.

    Borrowing an idea from the machine learning approach you could additionally take the difference in average outside temperature yesterday and the average forecasted outside temperature today. Then multiply that by a weight (the machine learning approach would find this value for you but a single weight can also be found by hand) and subtract it from the target temperature before the division step discussed previously. Effectively saying “you don’t need to heat as much today since it will be a little warmer”.

    I fear that’s about all you can do with this approach without massively overcomplicating things.
