HI,
I'm looking for 2 fermentation temp controllers for a fridge and a freezer.
The BrewPi Spark V2 looks great but it doesn't seem as plug and play as I initially thought. The documentation isn't fantastic, and I'd much rather blame that, as I've worked in IT projects forever (but feel a bit dense trying to follow their guide). Their website suggests usage of a Raspberry Pi web server in a few places. Although the founder says he doesn't keep the docs up to date as he would like. I do have a Linux Mint web server though...which I can use?
Having zapped myself a few times over the years, it made me nervous when the BrewPi guys started messing with solid state relays and rewiring in the How-to.
Has someone had experience with this tool? What level of effort, programming ability is required? Is the wiring etc. pretty straight forward?
Ta!
