CBPi4 Plugin for Mash Steps

Still under development and in Beta test phase

Several steps for CBPi4 that allow a full brewing

These steps can be used to run a Speidel Braumeister automatically if the corresponding KettleLogic Plugin (cbpi4-BM_PIDSmartBoilWithPump) is also used

• BM_MashInStep:

  • Heats up to the target temp and stops when temp is reached. This can be used to add e.g. Malt Pipe. User has to manually move to next step
  • Parameters:
    • Temp: Target Temp for MashInStep
    • 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

• BM_MashStep:

  • Heats up to the target temp and runs until Timer is done.
  • Parameters:
    • Time: Time in Minutes for Timer
    • Temp: Target Temp for MashStep
    • 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

• BM_BoilStep:

  • Heats up to the target temp and runs until Timer is done. Is sending notifications to add hops
  • Parameters:
    • Time: Time in Minutes for Timer
    • Temp: Target Temp for BoilStep
    • 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
    • First Wort: Sends a notification for First Wort Hops on Start if set to 'Yes'
    • Hop [1-6]: Sends up to 6 notifications for Hop alarms on specified times
      • Time is remaining Boil time in Minutes

• BM_Cooldown:

  • Waits that Wort is cooled down to target temp and is sending a notification. Active Step if Actor is selected.
  • Parameters:
    • Temp: Target Temp for Notification
    • Sensor: Sensor to be used for this step
    • Kettle: Kettle to be used for this step
    • Actor: Actor that is switched on during cooldown f selected (can be used to trigger a magnetic valve)
    • Interval: Interval in minutes when Step is checking current temp and calclulating estimated end time (2nd degree polynomial model)

• BM_SimpleStep:

  • Is sending a Notification and can wait on user
  • Parameters:
    • Notification: Notification text that can be specified by user
    • AutoNext: If set to 'No', step is wating for user input to move to next step. Otherwsie, next step is automatically started.

###Changelog:

**04.04.21:

• Some improvements in Cooldown Step caclulations
• Some fixes in MashIn step

**02.04.21:

• 2nd degree polynomial model to predict ECD of cooldown
• 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:

• Added one Hop alarm -> Total of 6 Alarms are currently possible

**15.03.21:

• Requirement is now cbpi >= 4.0.0.33 to accomodate the new notification system

**09.03.2021

• Updated Notifications to accomodate changes starting in cbpi 4.0.0.31 which is now required

**07.03.2021

• Added AutoNext function to Simple Step
  • If 'Yes', next step will be started automatically, if 'No' user has to push next to start next step
• Added selection for AutoMode in Mash and Boilsteps
  • If set to 'yes', Kettle Logic will be switched on when Step starts and switched off when Step ends

**03.03.21 (Still Beta Test)

• Added several steps
  • MashIn with Pause and request to add malt pipe before next step can be manually started
  • Mashout (SimpleStep) with Pause to remove Malt Pipe before boiling can be started -> Text Notificatrion to be set
  • Cooldown Step where Target temp can be set. Once temp is reached, notification is send
  • Modification of Voilstepd timer handling -> no mod of cbpi timer is required anymore

** 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
