People monitoring small distillation and brewing rigs
Worth noticing
The first version has no heater relay; it warns about changing conditions but leaves shutdown to the operator.

Field notes

The page identifies its interface screens as firmware 1.18.0, but explicitly labels the displayed measurements as demonstration data. Its five modes change the apparatus diagram and select the relevant sensors and process stages; some controls require a second confirmation. The site also links to wiring and assembly material, firmware downloads and a feedback forum.
