A most esoteric app
As a novice user of a new ASHP, this app seems to purposely make it difficult to find out anything useful. I’m used to the, kind of, ok Hive app with my old gas boiler but this new app gives me no useful information without me reading a manual. Okay, so I can check my system pressure, but I can’t check historical temperature values. I’m not even sure that I can tell if the heat pump is actually running, when it started running and what a forecast of energy consumption might be. The ambiguous glowing display might mean that it’s running; who knows? Needs a big UI upgrade and simplification. A bit of text might help. I’m likely being over critical, but having to consider integrating it into home assistant just to find out how it’s working seems a bit much.

Update
Been using the app as a heating and hot water controller very successfully for quite a while now. When it’s working, it’s very good. Have just, however, had a fairly catastrophic issue in the shape of a new broadband provider and router. Resetting the system and reconnecting, I have just been advised by Vaillant tech support, is (with my set up) an engineer call out. OUCH!!!

Really good
Works a treat
Update
Been using the App for a while now so very quick update. Remains very good if not the slickest UI. I have a request: The heating and hot water setting temperatures are periodically replaced by leaf icons in the app display. Presumably some sort it algorithmic pat on the back? This is incredibly annoying. I don’t want to know what a leaf looks like; I want to know the temperature settings! Please can you remove this piece of over-design. Thank you.
