CBPi4 Plugin for Mash Steps

This plugin can be used as example for step plugins

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
    • Hop_text [1-6]: Name of Hops, additions (will be collected from BF, xml recipes,... in case of automated recipe creation)

• 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:

• 03.03.23: (0.0.13) changed version and transferred repo to new org

• 04.02.23: (0.0.13.a2) Removed AutoTimer from Step property and added global parameter to cbpi settings. Should work with automated recipe creation !!Test!!

• 03.02.23: (0.0.13.a1) Fix dwell time @ 5 minutes, Autotimer -> yes/no !!Test!!

• 03.02.23: (0.0.12) Test with dwell time calculation in Boil step -> Evaluation of data (Base is latest Boilstep from cbpi4)

• 17.04.21: Some fixes

• 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

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

• 07.03.21: 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
