Hoping I can get a little help or a push in the direction of a similar post I missed... Have been running Fermentrack for a few years. Recently changed internet providers and thus wifi settings. I have updated the wifi on the pi and both esp8622 controllers. I use Fing and can see all three on...

I'm not seeing any place in settings that this is true, may just not see it though

Firstly, thanks again for such a great project and help received here in this thread. I am happily fermenting a Blonde Ale to a custom beer profile! Another question though....I did a handful of water tests prior to using Fermentrack on an actual beer. All went well except for one...when I...

@garzlok Thanks so much! That makes perfect sense to me!

Yes....thank you for the documentation link...I have gone through it a number of times. I have not, however, been able to find a mention of my current issue. Ia m not concerned about the relay. If it is truly not triggering, I will figure that out. What I do not understand is why I have...

Yes, it counted down that changed to "Cooling" and tripped the relay. However the 47 deg in Fridge Constant stayed there. I turned off "Temperature control" and then set the Beer constant to 80 deg (11 deg higher temp probe reading) and it started counting down to heating, then started heating...

So....I decided to test the outlets out in Fermentrack to make sure that heating and cooling worked. This is a two controller build. The first controller worked just fine to heat or cool. The second one seems to work ok if I set it to Fridge Constant, but when I set it to Beer constant, I also...

Thanks @Archy88 and @garzlok : That was the issue. I somehow forgot about that after watching the videos some time ago. Now, almost ready to box it up! Thanks again for the help!

Hey everyone: I am a little late to the party building this, but using @garzlok great tutorial, I am getting close to a working system. I have Fermentrack running with two esp8266 on @Thorrak boards. I am also using the temp sensor breakout boards. My problem is that I can't seem to get any...

Thanks so much. Yes I did miss that. I guess I should read more carefully instead of just looking at the great pictures lol. Thanks again for a great write up

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I have been using this excellent thread (thanks @garzlok ) to try to piece together my own Fermentrack build. I purchased similar power modules from AliExpress: My question concerns the connectors outlined in red. The left one is for 120V coming in, the...

Well, the above still didn't work for me. :/ I tried powering the board from the 12v in of the terragady board and also from the +12 pad and both were no go. I know the board works as I can get it to light up with 5v hooking it directly to the pi, but again, I want to use the terragady board...

Yes, but I already purchased the add on board and want to use the screw terminals for the 1 wire temp probes so that I don't have to set up a bread board with resistor to wire them.

Well that explains alot. I want to use the add on board because it has screw terminals for the fell probes. So i guess my best bet is just to use ssr's for the pumps as well as the elements. I just figured (hoped) I could use the relay board since I already had it. Thanks for the explanation.

Yes, that is my question.
