Energy Insights

Energy Insights

Energy Insights shows how often your mini-split runs, helping you understand usage patterns and find opportunities to save.

What's Tracked

Mysa tracks:

• Runtime — how long your mini-split is in Heat mode vs Cool mode
• Room temperature — historical temperature readings
• Humidity — historical humidity readings

This gives you insight into usage patterns even though Mysa doesn't measure actual energy consumption.

Viewing Energy Insights

1. Open the Mysa app
2. Tap your thermostat
3. Tap Energy or Insights

Available Reports

Daily view — See runtime hours for each day.

Weekly view — Compare week-over-week usage.

Monthly view — Track seasonal trends.

Understanding the Data

Higher runtime means:

• More extreme outdoor temperatures
• Larger temperature differential between setpoint and outdoor temp
• Possible efficiency issues (dirty filter, poor insulation)

Lower runtime means:

• Mild outdoor temperatures
• Setpoint closer to outdoor temperature
• Efficient operation

Using Insights to Save Energy

Compare similar days — Look at days with similar weather. If one day shows significantly more runtime, check what was different (higher setpoint? door left open?).

Track schedule changes — After adjusting your schedule, monitor whether runtime decreases.

Seasonal comparison — Compare this month to the same month last year (if available) to spot trends.

Setback effectiveness — Check if your Away/Sleep setbacks are actually reducing runtime.

Limitations

Mysa tracks runtime, not actual energy consumption (kWh). Energy consumption also depends on your unit's efficiency, outdoor temperature, and electricity rates.

For actual energy costs, check your utility bill or use a dedicated energy monitor.
