Wait for Temperature in Step Feature

[jimmy]

I know there are stability issues so this can wait.

I would like to have temperature profiles have a wait for temperature option to continue the step in the profile. I would use this in my mash. Brewtroller has this in their mash profiles.

It would work by having a step wait until the setpoint is reached. It would heat (or cool) during the wait. Once the setpoint is reached, the timer starts for the step.

Thanks,

Jimmy

Makes sense. That would be nice to have. We will add it to the list.

I think adding a setting to the Ramp option would be the best way to go on this. Possibly even something as simple as setting the duration to 0. Put in logic that if duration is set to 0, heat or cool to set point THEN move to next step. A reminder of this functionality could be placed at the bottom of the Temp Profile creation page. Of course this is also a bit dependent upon the Current Temp feature that is requested in another thread.

Example:

Starting temp = Current temp
Ramp to 120 over 0
Hold at 120 for 15
Ramp to 150 over 0
Hold at 150 for 60
Ramp to 168 over 0
