Heating/cooling control only with beer sensor #408

Closed jacyker closed 6 months ago

jacyker commented 9 months ago

Hi

Beer on kveiks. In this case, it is not about cooling, but about heating. I use a heating belt on the fermenter. The problem is that it doesn't work when there is only a beer sensor (DS18B20 or iSpindel). BPL also requires a "fridge sensor", but with kveiks it is often a shame to block the refrigerator. You can add a second DS18B20 "in the room" and set it as a "fridge", but it would probably be better if in such a situation the BPL simply followed the beer sensor only, with appropriate "caution"?

There is an option, Glycol support. You can use that specific binary.

I just update a new version for making glycol an option, so that you can install all available versions and set the "glycol chilling" configuration in system page.

OK, so only the beer sensor and the "Glycol Chilling" option. Thanks for the info and update :-)
