For Octopus Cosy heat-pump owners
Warm home, lower bills, and proof the change helped.
Cosydays watches your Octopus Cosy heat pump, lets you adjust it from your phone, and then checks — against the weather — whether what you changed actually made a difference.
Independent companion app. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Octopus Energy.
Warm and running efficiently.
What it does
Four jobs, one app.
A thermostat you happen to be able to analyse — not a report you can also poke.
-
Monitor Live today
Live status, flow and return temperatures, COP and what today has cost you — collected continuously, not only while the app is open.
-
Control In build
Setpoint, schedule, boost, hot water and zones. Every write is clamped server-side to the range your pump reports, and refused outright if it does not report one.
-
Understand Live today
History by day, week, month and year, with cost alongside efficiency. Every chart carries labelled axes with units and an exact-value tooltip.
-
Prove In build
Log the change you made, then get a verdict on whether it helped — with the weather held constant, so a mild week cannot take the credit.
The loop
Analyse, tweak, prove.
Most heat-pump advice stops at the tweak. The interesting part is what happened next.
-
01
Analyse
Cosydays reads your own run data and says, in plain English, what is costing you — a flow temperature set higher than it needs to be, short cycling, hot water eating the bill.
-
02
Tweak
Make one change, from the app or from the pump itself, and log it. One change at a time is the whole trick — two at once and neither can be attributed.
-
03
Prove
Once enough comparable weather has passed, you get a verdict: it helped by this much, it made no measurable difference, or it cost you. Then you keep it or undo it.
Weather-honest comparison
A mild week is not an improvement.
Compare this week against last week and a heat pump will almost always look better or worse for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Cosydays matches periods on how cold it actually was — heating degree days and outdoor temperature bands — before it will call anything a change.
When there is not yet enough comparable weather to be sure, it says so rather than inventing a verdict.
Looks like a win. It was four degrees milder.
The part that was actually you.

Straight answers
The things worth knowing up front.
- Is this made by Octopus Energy?
- No. Cosydays is an independent companion app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Octopus Energy. It uses their publicly available API with your permission.
- Do I need an Octopus Cosy heat pump?
- Yes. Cosydays reads and controls the Cosy heat pump through the Octopus API, so it only works if that is what you have and your account can see it.
- Where does my data live?
- On our servers, and that is deliberate. Weather-matched verdicts, year-on-year history and comparison against similar homes need collection that carries on when your phone is asleep — none of it can be done on the device alone. Your Octopus credentials are stored for that collection and are never shared or sold.
- Will it change my heating without asking?
- No. Nothing is written to your pump unless you ask for it. Every write is clamped server-side to the range the pump itself reports as allowed, and if the API does not return a range the write is refused rather than guessed. Controls pause during an outage so nothing is sent into the void.
- How does comparing against other homes work?
- It is opt-in and off by default. Only anonymised rollups are shared — efficiency, cost, cycles, set-temperature band, the outward half of your postcode and unit size. Never your API key, name, address or full postcode. A cohort only renders once at least twenty homes match, and you can leave and delete your contribution at any time.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing while it is in build. Paid plans are planned for later; nothing is charged today and you will not be billed without choosing to be.
- How finished is it?
- Monitoring and history are live today. Control, the analyse–tweak–prove loop and similar-homes benchmarking are in build — they are marked In build above so you know what you are signing up to.
