How to get the wakeup running? #30

Hi everyone,

I know there hasn't been a lot of activity in this repo recently, but I'm gonna try anyway.

I got everything up and running and the software is controlling my temperature, but I'm still figuring out how to get the machine to wake up. Right know, the temperature control only works if i manually switch on the machine.

I wired the two cables from the relay with the temperature control previously connected to the brew thermostat, as shown in the description. Did I miss anything? I am not an electronics engineer or anything related, so maybe someone can help me...

Edit: I have the Silvia with automatic shutdown after 30 minutes, so maybe this doesn't work with this machine?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

i think that you have to have the main switch on for it to work, other vice there had to be a relay on the main power. i have mine up and running and i have to enable the main switch to get it to start heating up. i have an older version of Racilio without auto power off.

best regards
