Hey all, I have been using the basic brewpi set-up commonly posted around here (ubiquitous schematic below). Overall, works fantastically well. I have no trouble holding fermentation temps within 0.1 or at worst 0.2F.
However, every few months one of the relays will stop working (sticks on or off), and cannot be revived. After figuring out why things stopped working, I just switch to the other relay on the board as I am only using cooling and continue on until that relay fails. But, now I have been through boards and I am getting tired of swapping these out. So I would like to switch to SSR as I am inclined to believe these may be more durable (double check me on this).
However, I can't seem to find a handy wiring schematic around here for SSR and don't really know how to wire these in place of the switch relay. If anyone could snap a photo or give guidance that would be much appreciated.
