New step for creating water of Nachguss

Hello,

after defecate the wort, I use the TH16 for creating the 78°C water of recast. For this, an optional 'recast' step between boiling wort and boiling hop would be useful. This optional 'recast' step could heat up the water and hold its temperature.

Support for Sonoff Basic

Support for ESP8285 based Sonoff Basic would be very simple to achieve.
I made a custom build with a minimum of changes, and it works as expected.

Edited platformio.ini changing the env section as such:
platform = [email protected] board = esp8285 framework = arduino lib_deps = paulstoffregen/OneWire@^2.3.5 bblanchon/ArduinoJson@^6.17.2 WiFiManager=https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager.git ; commit f5dd402ba2698be17e27d357b1ead5291c3d0eb1 as of 04/12/2021 worked fine, see backup next line ;./dependencies/[email protected] monitor_speed = 115200 board_build.flash_mode = dout board_upload.maximum_size = 786432 board_build.ldscript = eagle.flash.1m128.ld build_flags = -DSIZE_1M -DBUILD_NO_DEBUG -Os -s

and modified OneWire port in main.cpp:
OneWire ds(2);

Easy enough for me to edit and build, but would be nice to see in the releases as well for the cheapos ;) (me....)

Adding journal for manual input data

Hello,

I guess a journal for manual input data (and a trend out of these data) would be a nice feature.

For my brewery, I'm measuring daily the pressure of the bottles. If I could put this measurement values inside a journal, a trend of pressure development could be created.
In addition to this, I'm measuring the gravity of my beer during fermentation. If I could see a trend of gravity, I could easily determine the end of fermentation.

Manual update, flashing the brick

I wasted some time during flash of the TH16. I guess, some others could have the same trouble.

Could you please add the note, that TH16 button must be pressed, during connecting the USB/Serial converter. Otherwise, the downloader will not recognise the device.

A second note (that made me considering) was the jumper setting of programming voltage (3.3 Volts).

Thanks,
Tobias

Recipe delay problem

I'm only testing and simulating fermenting to see if it all works.
I've set up my test recipe to do fermenting at 17C and after 1 day to start secondary fermenting at 13C.
All worked well for a few hours doing 17C, but after only 4hours it went to secondary at 13C. So, not a 1 day wait.

I didn't make changes to recipe while running. Although I have unplugged the brick 2 or 3 times (let's call is simulating power failures).

Delay fail safe

Delay fail safe (relay off) to be more error tolerant.

Online trend shows only last 2 minutes

Online trend e.g. at manual mode shows only last 2 minutes. After zooming out, the history is not loaded. An automatically reload resets the trend view

Hold temperature on connection loss

Instead of going to safe mode (relay off), brick should hold the current temperature +-0.5C hysteresis.
