So I finally got started on the conversion, freezer side = serving / lagering? Fridge side = ferm / lagering?
I ordered 2 STC 1000's, both read fahrenheit! One is an Inkbird and the other is ? Why 2 different ones? No reason just thought I'd see if I liked one better than the other, one will eventually go to a mash temp monitor and will be replaced by my Love ST once I receive my replacement probe, but for testing they are both connected.
Following the lead of forbein and rtevino, I went a slightly different route.
Wired 1 controller into adaptive defrost board replacing freezer thermo, when the freezer side stc calls for cold, signal is sent to adb orange and control board powers compressor/fan, same setup as forbein/trevino. 2nd controller wired in place of fridge thermo same as above, here is the slight change, fans are wired to damper open wire so that when fridge side calls for cold, power is sent acb and acb in turn sends power to damper open lead thus powering fans, when temp is reached stc cuts power which tells acb to cut power to damper open lead thereby stopping fans, I will use damper close lead from acb to power a heat source eventually. So far everything is working great and I can actually start tiding things up.
