Mitsubishi heat pump auto adaptative mode, is it possible to use with emos thermostat instead?

I recently acquired a Mitsubishi heat pump ecodan, which is currently set to compensation curve mode, and I am using an Emos thermostat in my living room. I would like to switch the heat pump to Auto Adaptive mode. However, the desired temperature is being measured in my garage, where the heat pump is located. It seems possible to purchase a wireless Mitsubishi thermostat (PAR-WT50R-E) to address this. However, I would like to know if it is possible to use the existing Emos thermostat instead to save costs.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi ​@Floascii ,

IIRC you must use the Mitsubishi controls only - third-party controls and Heat Pumps often don’t play well together.

You will need the WiFi interface if you want to use MELCloud but don't get too excited about. It's rubbish! It's fundamentally flawed in the way it controls the system and unless you have additional monitoring kit the data it shows is little better than a guess. All I use it for is switching the system to holiday mode when we go away.

 

TBH you shouldn't need to change the system settings once it is set up and running properly. If you play with the settings all the time you'll mess up the efficiency which is expensive.

Hi ​@Blastoise186 ,

Thank you very much for your fast answer.

I believe I would need a temperature measurement device in the living room. Based on my understanding and my model of heat pump, I would need the Wireless Thermostat PAR-WT50R-E and the Wireless Receiver PAR-WT51R-E.

Additionally, do you maybe know the difference between the new model PAR-WT60R-E and the old one PAR-WT50R-E.

Furthermore, I would like to be able to control the system remotely. To do this, I assume I would need the WiFi Interface MAC-5871F-E to use the MELCloud app.

Is this correct?

I think so, but ​@M.isterW and ​@juliamc are more likely to know :)
