AxHTherm is a fermentation and mashing control system
Fermentation and mash can be controlled by means of a temperature profile.
Up to three temperature sensors (DS18B20) can be attached to the system, of which one
will be the active prove and the remaining 2 will be used for monitoring (i.e. chamber and environment temperature monitors)
A temperature profile consists of up to 5 control steps, and each one can be of either one of
the following kinds:
- Fixed temperature point
- Holds temperature at given set point (within probe's tolerance)
- Time and temperature controlled ramp
- Ramps (up or down) the temperature changing the set point at computed intervals given the duration.
- Time and temperature controlled ramp with max velocity settings
- Ramps (up or down) the temperature changing the set point of given amount (degrees/hour)
- Gravity controlled (interfaces with iSpindel and Tilt hydrometers)
- The system holds the temperature like the fixed point but considers a step completed once the gravity reaches the desired value.
- PID controller (for mashing)
- The system holds the desired temperature for the given time using PID control algorithm
The system is remotely controllable by means of a web application, and supports OTA updates.

Hi there,
A small update on project's status.
The system now "talks" to Brew Father App, can log fermentation temperatures as well as gravity points (if a digital hydrometer is configured).
The Android application and widget are now freely available on Google's play store.
Upon activation the Android application will be in "Lite" mode.
The web application is now available and perfectly identical to the Android one, and works on IOS and PC. You can find the web application at:
http://www.iobrewing.it
Since the integration with the I.O.B. platform, is now possible to save devices' list and their configuration so that you can share with your smart devices.
Cheers
