Energy tracking, oil vs electricity.

Describe the solution you'd like

My heating system uses a heat pump whenever the outside temp is above a settings temp (maybe 40 degrees). The display shows when it is using the heat pump and when it is using the boiler instead. This is useful to track rough energy usage. Boiler means burning oil and heat pump is using electricity. I'd like to see which mode it was in over time as I can currently see heading/idle. Hopefully this information is available at the API level.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Honestly, I'm not sure what else I could try. I'd be happy to try any suggestions!

Additional context

I'm not sure it matters, but I use the Bryant system. I'm happy to provide any other details about my system. Knock this one out and I'll definitely be buying you some coffee!

please attach your debug logs when the system is actively using the heap pump and another when the system is using the boiler. I expect the api provides the information your after but I need to see example data to know. Details on turning on debug logs can be found in the read me

I will try this.

Hello again. I've been able to access the debug logs, and may have found what I want. In case it helps others:

"outdoor_unit_operational_status":"off",
"indoor_unit_operational_status":"off",

I think "indoor" means "boiler/hot water" mode and "outdoor" means heat pump. These are already available to me, so likely no change. It is too cold for the heat pump tonight, so I'll check again when it warms up a bit and report back.
