MyImmersun 2.0

I received a mail today from the Immersun team saying that their new MyImmersun platform is available for Beta testing and with a link to the new web portal at https://myimmersun.com/

There’s a new registration procedure requiring a new account to be created. Once that’s done it displays a Dashboard view, initially with no Immersun device(s) connected. In order to on-board an Immersun device to the new platform it needs to be pointed at the new Server by updating the “Cloud IP” (to 136.243.233.046) – which will also remove it from the old MyImmersun platform. Then, with the device sending data to the new platform, the device needs to be “claimed” by the new login account by entering the MyImmersun Username & Password (obtained from the Immersun device menus).

Example of the new MyImmersun web portal Dashboard

The previous “Cloud IP” setting was: 051.052.112.077

Update February 2023: The “Cloud IP” setting has changed again (as of 2023-02-15) – the Immersun Status Page says to use 065.108.159.219

Thermal Performance in Extreme Hot Weather

The record-breaking high temperatures over the past few days provided great validation that good insulation and decent air tightness keep heat out in summer as well as keeping heat in in winter.

Internal and External temperatures; 17th – 20th July 2022

Any house is going to heat up a bit, through a combination of heat transfer from the outside as well as internal gains from appliances and occupants. The biggest risk is a huge amount of solar gain through windows but by keeping blinds closed (and windows closed, obviously) that can be minimised.

With such high temperatures being forecast I took the precaution of slightly over-cooling by opening some windows overnight beforehand, and then opening at night whenever the outside temperature was lower than the inside (which was not until about 04:30 on the morning of the 19th).

The master bedroom stayed below 25 degrees at all times; I’m happy with that.
