    • Digital 1-wire DS18B20 (temperature)
    • Wireless Bluetooth temperature sensor
  • Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity
  • OTA Firmware upgrade

Smart HomeBrewing

This smart homebrewing app is a vertical application that runs on top of smartPID platform and is dedicated to brewing process automation from mashing to boiling, from the addition of hops to whirlpool and cooling, including recipe management.

Smart homebrewing application has been designed to manage the brew automation for BIAB or RIMS/HERMS systems in manual or full automatic mode.

Main features available on top of common SmartPID features:

  • Electric or gas fired heating mode
  • Control of mash tun and HLT with two independent channels
  • Precise PID/PWM control algorithm or ON/OFF algorithm
  • Direct recirculating pump or wort stirrer control
  • Dual operation mode :manual or full process automation
  • Complete recipe management (step mash, boil, hop addition)
  • Delayed program start
  • Power control during boil phase
  • Whirlpool and cooling

The controller provides all the smart features and the possibility to create up to 10 different recipe.

All process data can be logged on SD card memory and remotely monitored via android smartphone app as well as via the brewfather.app brewing tool.

Application available for DIN and CUBE platform.

Smart Thermostat

This smart thermostat application is a general purpose application that runs on top of smartPID platform and allow you to control any thermo regulated process (heating , cooling thermostatic) in a flexible and smart way

Smart Thermostat is the modern standard for any thermal regulated process. It can be used and adapted anywhere a PID control is needed or used to perform a retrofit of a simple thermostat with something more advanced.

Few typical examples:

  • Beer/wine fermentation chamber control (fridge compressor + heater)
  • Beer/wine fermenter cooling system (glycol chiller + recirculation solenoid valve)
  • Reflow oven
  • Cooking ovens (ceramic, carbons..)
  • Incubators and reptile temp controller
  • Bread leavening / sourdough

3 main control mode are supported:

  • Heating: controller manage an heating systems to reach set point temperature and keep it stable
  • Cooling: controller manage a cooling system to to reach set point temperature and keep it stable
  • Thermostatic: controller activate either a cooling and heating systems to keep temperature at certain set point value regardless external temperature value

The controller provides and advance mode with the possibility to create temperature profile with ramp/soak period.

Application available for DIN and CUBE platform, SmartPID M5 mini and PRO.
