Product Usage Instructions:
1. Energy Monitoring Capability:
Your heat pump’s energy monitoring capability depends on the
model. Refer to the list of compatible and incompatible models
provided in the specifications section above.
2. Accessing Energy Monitoring in the App:
To view Energy Monitoring data, access the individual control
screen on the app. If your unit is compatible, the Energy
Monitoring button will appear at the bottom of the screen.
3. Energy Monitoring Views:
Both ‘Indicative’ and ‘Enhanced’ views provide accurate insights
for energy management. These views are available based on your
model.
4. Troubleshooting Missing Energy Monitoring:
If Energy Monitoring is not showing on your app, ensure you have
selected the correct model in Settings. Running the system in
heating or cooling mode multiple times can help determine the type
of Energy Monitoring available.
5. Changing Unit Type in the App:
Changing the unit type will reset Energy Monitoring data to show
only from the change date. Ensure to select the correct model to
view accurate data.
6. Cost per kWh:
Your cost per kWh can be found on your energy bill or use the
national average. For New Zealand, the average is 33.6c/kWh.
7. Understanding Energy Monitoring Views:
‘Enhanced’ views provide more precise monitoring with updated
software, while ‘Indicative’ views use an algorithm for energy
input calculation.
8. Monitoring Energy Usage:
The app tracks energy usage by receiving electrical pulses
through the Wi-Fi Interface connected to the heat pump. These
pulses are translated into usable figures displayed in the app.
9. Reducing Energy Usage:
For tips on reducing energy usage with your heat pump, visit the
manufacturer’s website or contact Customer Service for
assistance.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q1. Will my heat pump be capable of Energy Monitoring?
Refer to the list of compatible models provided in the
specifications section above for Energy Monitoring capability.
Q2. Where do I view Energy Monitoring in the App?
You can access Energy Monitoring from the individual control
screen. The Energy Monitoring button will appear at the bottom if
your unit is compatible.
Q3. Does my heat pump have an ‘Indicative’ or ‘Enhanced’ Energy
Monitoring view?
Both views deliver similar accuracy over time for efficient
energy management.
Q4. My heat pump is a compatible model; why is Energy
Monitoring not showing?
Ensure you have selected the correct model in your app settings
to view Energy Monitoring data.
Q5. If I change my unit type in the App will this impact on the
data I see?
Changing the unit type will reset Energy Monitoring data to show
only from the change date.
Q6. How do I know my cents per kWh cost?
You can find your cost per kWh on your energy bill or use the
national average provided.
Q7. What is the difference between ‘Indicative’ and ‘Enhanced’
Energy Monitoring views?
‘Enhanced’ views offer more precise monitoring with updated
software, while ‘Indicative’ views use an algorithm for energy
input calculation.
Q8. How does the app know how much energy my heat pump is
using?
The app tracks energy usage by receiving electrical pulses
through the Wi-Fi Interface connected to the heat pump.
Q9. How can I use my heat pump to reduce energy usage?
Contact Customer Service or visit the manufacturer’s website for
tips on reducing energy usage with your heat pump.

Wi-Fi Heat Pump Control Energy Monitoring
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1
Will my heat pump be capable of Energy Monitoring?
The following single room high wall models are compatible:
Black Diamond LN Series, Designer EF Series and AP Plus Series with Built-in
Wi-Fi Control. AP Mini, AP Classic Series, Large Capacity AS90, and Standard
GS Series are Energy Monitoring
compatible when paired with an optional Wi-Fi Interface.
KW Floor Consoles, MLZ Cassettes, S-Series (SEZ and SLZ), P-Series (PEAD, PEA,
PLA, PKA, and PCA)
and OmniCore Multi Room Systems are not currently compatible with Energy
Monitoring.
GS71/80 requires revision `-A2′ or higher.
Q2 Where do I view Energy Monitoring in the App?
Energy Monitoring can be accessed from the individual control screen. If your
unit is compatible, the Energy
Monitoring button will automatically appear at the bottom of the screen.
Q3
Does my heat pump have an Indicative’ or
Enhanced’ Energy Monitoring view?
The combination of indoor and outdoor units determines whether you will have
an Indicative’ or
Enhanced’ energy view. The indicative view displays usage
with gold bars, while the enhanced view displays usage with blue bars. In the
early development stages, Energy Monitoring was only available in the enhanced
view on new models with the latest firmware update. However, to enable more
end-users to benefit from Wi-Fi Heat Pump Control Energy Monitoring, the
indicative view has been developed for compatibility with other models as well
so now the power is in more New Zealanders’ hands!
Both views deliver similar accuracy over time, ensuring you receive reliable insights for efficient energy management.
Q4
My heat pump is a compatible model; why is Energy Monitoring not showing?
Ensure you have selected the correct model in your app. If you do not see
Energy Monitoring on the individual control screen, check your model selection
in Settings > Advanced Settings > Unit Type/Model Name.
To help determine the type of Energy Monitoring available on your system, you
may need to run your system in heating or cooling mode multiple times, with
3-hour off periods between operations, over several hours.
Note: If the selected model is changed, Energy Monitoring will reset and only
show data from the change date.
Q5 If I change my unit type in the App will this impact on the data I see? If the selected model is changed, Energy Monitoring will reset and only show data from the change date.
Q6
How do I know my cents per kWh cost?
Your cost per kWh can be found on your energy contract or monthly energy bill.
Alternatively, you can use the NZ national average of 33.6c/kWh.
mbie.govt.nz states the nominal residential electricity cost at: 33.6c/kWh for 2024.
Q7
What is the difference between Indicative’ and
Enhanced’ Energy Monitoring
views?
Models with an `Enhanced’ energy view (displayed in blue) have updated software in the outdoor unit that provides more precise monitoring of energy input.
Models with an Indicative’ energy view (displayed in gold) use an algorithm to calculate energy input based on data gathered from the heat pump. While the App’s energy monitoring report remains accurate, the
Indicative’ hourly view
might not show as smooth a curve as the `Enhanced’ view.
Q8 How does the app know how much energy my heat pump is using?
The Wi-Fi Interface connected to the heat pump receives electrical pulses at
specific intervals determined by the unit’s input energy. These pulses are
then translated into usable figures and displayed in your app by hour, day, or
month.
Q9 How can I use my heat pump to reduce energy usage?
There are several ways to reduce your heat pump’s energy use, such as: · Set
rules for better control. · Set fan speed to Auto Mode. · Lower the set
temperature by a few degrees. · Adjust operating times of unit. You can
monitor your savings in the Mitsubishi Electric Wi-Fi Control App. Click here
