About this app

Smart thermostat application is a general purpose application that runs on top of smartPID platform and allow you to control any thermo regulated process (heating , cooling thermostatic) in a flexible and smart way

Smart Thermostat is the modern standard for any thermal regulated process. It can be used and adapted anywhere a PID control is needed or used to perform a retrofit of a simple thermostat with something more advanced.

Few typical examples:

-Beer/wine fermentation chamber control (fridge compressor + heater)
-Beer/wine fermenter cooling system (glycol chiller + recirculation solenoid valve)
-Reflow oven
-Cooking ovens (ceramic, carbons..)
-Incubators and reptile temp controller
-Bread leavening / sourdough

3 main control mode are supported:

-Heating: controller manage an heating systems to reach set point temperature and keep it stable
-Cooling: controller manage a cooling system to to reach set point temperature and keep it stable
-Thermostatic: controller activate either a cooling and heating systems to keep temperature at certain set point value regardless external temperature value

SmartPID smart thermostat allow you to remote control your process and and mange in a user friendly way all parameters via dedicate android smartphone app

SmartPID connects to your home wifi router and implement MQTT standard communication protocol to notify process data and events and subscribe commands from the app

Data manges via MQTT are the following:

1)Periodic dynamic data notification (current temp, set point, power..)
2)Asynchronous events (start, stop, set point reached..)
3)Advanced program configuration (ramp/soak)
4)Commands from the remote smartphone app (start, stop ,set point ..)

A simple and user friendly mechanism to perform initial smartPID provisioning (wifi SSID and PWD) and secure pairing with the app has been implemented Via single app it’s possible to manage multiple smartPID controller

The client-server architecture allow infinite integration possibilities with other web application or IoT services like IFTT or even chatbot control (whatsapp, telegram..)

Endless control possibilities for a smart controller IoT ready
