As you said, running continously is the ideal point for heat pumps. And for a continous load most radiators are big enough. In Germany they were scaled so they could heat up the rooms pretty quickly and then idle for time. Since thats not the goal with a heatpump we can use the idle time to even out the lower peak capabilities. You loose the ability to quickly adapt the room temperture, but with outdoor temperature probes connected to the heatpump this istn an issue. I am in the process of retrofitting my home to a heatpump and that what the engineer told me at least.

A bigger issue seems to be the single-pipe heating vs. two-pipe heating systems, but those are not the majority in germany and should be phased out anyway because they are so inefficient.

That pricetag is just the unit and standard installation probably. Pieces are crazy high Here in Germany because the demand is crazy high. Not many heating installers have made the additional qualifications, so those who did can demand practically anything.

It's not that the people don't want the technology, the adoption pace is just higher then the supply chains can deliver.

And btw: you don't need to reach 60°C with a heat pump. That would be pretty inefficient. That wouldn't prevent installers from up selling you, but that's a different story.

I have been using yunohsot for ages now and i really do like it very much. I had little to no problems most of which i could solve myself. And if i couldnt, i found the time for answers in the forum were quite okay, considering that they are volunteering their time.

Yes, there are some limitations on packages and stuff, but the alternative is using docker and portainer and hours of fiddeling with configurations that i am just not able to invest.

If you could be specific about your problems maybe i could answer them and add them to the documentation.
