HeatCable
Control system using external temperature sensor (DB18B20) with a configurable temperature treshold (SetTemp) controlling heatcable relay. LCD display (Omilex sheild-LCD16x2) to visualize external(OutTemp) and treshold(SetTemp) with relay status. Pushbutton to increase or decrease the temperature treshold.
Two versions available Basic without any WiFi connection and one using WiFi and MQTT topics to publish status.
