Hello all, I would like to introduce a system that I have been working on to get any comments / questions from this forum. I started this project after attempting to make a brewpi-remix system work for my needs with limited success. The problem that I ran into with the brewpi-remix was mainly...
thank you Lee, for your input.
I believe that I can make the system work in a "fridge constant" mode. For my desired outcome... I am sure minor issues to follow.
Is there a way to change the monikers "beer", "fridge" on the LCD / web UI Display? I can certainly just know that the "Fridge"...
Changing the Fridge Constant to 38 F did cause the cooling to come on:
putting the Beer temp probe into the same temp water bath, to simulate beer reaching the set temp causes this:
I presume that this has to do with overshoot estimates... I will make some changes to those numbers.
It would...
I have just made the changes you requested I believe. Still no call for cooling...
In my test setup I now have the following:
temp sensor device 0 "beer temp" - currently in ambient air for my test
temp sensor device 1 "chamber temp" - currently in ice water for my test
System set to Fridge...
I have played with a couple of scenarios... without much success.
Here is the graph of the last day or so... as you can see I can get some cooling to happen but certainly not how I would expect it to work. I currently have the second temp sensor back to "room" rather than chamber. I only...
Ok, I changed the "room" temp device to "chamber temp" and I had cooling for a second...
but, as you can see here...
while the device list reads:
I do not get cooling when the beer set point goes below the 50 degree I have set on the beer constant.
