Wine Temperature Regulating System

[Rubber_Boot]

I like making wine as a hobby and the hardest thing was to control the temperature in the carboy and primary fermentation pail.

The Fix

Here is what you need.


A Oscillating Heater (With a manual switch)


Appliance Module


Fibaro FGDW-002-1 2 Door/Window v2 with Temperature Sensor, Z-Wave Plus (Amazon)



RioRand 5pcs 3M Waterproof Digital Temperature Temp Sensor Probe DS18b20 (Amazon)

==== Event Temperature too Low ====
IF
Basement Wine Making Fibaro Notification Sensor Temperature Plus Temperature Plus was set and has a value that is less than 21 C
AND IF
Basement Wine Making Wine Heater has a value equal to Off
THEN
Set Device:
Basement Wine Making Wine Heater to On
Send an Email to your.email@gmail.com
With subject: Wine less than 21 degrees - Has been turned ON
=================================================

==== Event Temperature too High ====
IF
Basement Wine Making Fibaro Notification Sensor Temperature Plus Temperature Plus was set and has a value that is greater than 23 C
AND IF
Basement Wine Making Wine Heater has a value equal to On
THEN
Set Device:
Basement Wine Making Wine Heater to Off
Send an Email to your.email@gmail.com
With subject: Wine greater than 23 degrees - Has been turned Off
=================================================

Use two events… It the temperature falls below X turn the heater ON. If the temperatures goes above X the shut the heater it OFF.

Since I started using this my wine has been tasting better than ever. 😁

Note: This can be used to monitor the the temperature of your swimming pool or any other liquid.

Brilliant!
I just bottled a batch of Raspberry Peach Sangria (I cheat and buy the juice/kit)
I always stress over the primary bucket's temp.
