    • Sensor: Sensor to be used for this step
    • Kettle: Kettle to be used for this step
    • AutoMode: If yes: Kettle Logic will be switched on/off when step starts/stops

• Added Actor to cooldown step to trigger magnetic valve is required. No selection won't trigger anything and step will run as passive step

**28.03.21:

• Added Parameter to Cooldown Step to calculate estimated completion time (ECT). -> Notifications on ECT are send with Interval frequency
• Notifications are changed for mash steps and boil step. -> On Timer start, estimated end time will be send as notification

**24.03.21:

** Initial Test release

• Focused on Braumeister, but applicable to other systems
• Boil step with alarms for First wort and 5 Hop/Adjunct additions -> currently only notification in bash -> to be added to notify system of CBPi, once available
• Auto mode for Kettle logic -> Kettle logic is siwtched on, when step is starting and switched off, when step ends
