Profiles

Profile User Guide | RAPT Temperature Controller

Profiles are a key component of the RAPT system. Profiles are powerful tools that can be customised to a great degree, allowing extremely fine control over all aspects of brewing/fermentation

Profiles are created in the RAPT Portal. There are also Global Profiles that can be imported and customised. Once a profile is created in the RAPT Portal, it can be sent to the corresponding RAPT device using Send Profile To Device from the My Profiles screen. Alternatively, you can select Start Profile Session for the RAPT Temperature Controller in the Dashboard. This will send the Profile to the device and also begin the Profile automatically.

The RAPT ecosystem is intended to be largely controlled remotely, and thus there are more powerful controls in the RAPT Portal than on board the RAPT Temperature Controller.

Creating a Fermentation Profile on the RAPT Portal

Once you have registered your RAPT Temperature Controller on the RAPT Portal you can then log telemetry from the device and set up complex temperature/fermentation profiles involving multiple steps.

To setup a fermentation profile on the RAPT Portal select My Profiles and then Create New Profile. Then add your fermentation profile steps such as primary fermentation, diacetyl rest, dry hop, cold crash etc.

For a detailed guide on creating complex and powerful profiles please refer to Creating and Editing Profiles

Storing a Fermentation Profile on the RAPT Temperature Controller

To store a Fermentation Profile on the RAPT Temperature Controller you can select Send Profile To Device from the My Profiles screen. The Profile will be uploaded to the device and can then be started manually on the RAPT Temperature Controller.

Alternatively, you can select Start Profile Session for the RAPT Temperature Controller in the Dashboard of the RAPT Portal. This will send the Profile to the device and also begin the Profile automatically.

Note: You cannot create a Fermentation Profile on the RAPT Temperature Controller itself. It must be created in the RAPT Portal first.

Note: If any changes are made to a Fermentation Profile once the Profile has started these will not be uploaded. You must stop the Profile on the device and restart it in order to have changes reflected on the device.

To stop running or to pause the Fermentation Profile on the device press Select to enter the Profile Menu. In the Profile Menu use the Up or Down buttons to navigate to and Select either Pause this profile or End this profile.

Starting a Profile

To start a profile that has been uploaded to the RAPT device select PROFILES from the main menu.

This will display a list of Profiles that have been uploaded to the device. Navigate to the desired Profile using the Up or Down buttons and hit Select

This gives the option to Start Profile, View Profile or Delete Profile.

Note: Delete Profile deletes the Profile from the device only. It does not delete the Profile from the RAPT Portal.

Selecting Start Profile will automatically download any updates or changes that have been made to the selected Profile in the RAPT Portal and then begin running the Profile on the device.

Selecting View Profile will show the Profile Steps before the Profile is started.

Alternatively, you can select Start Profile Session for the RAPT Temperature Controller in the Dashboard of the RAPT Portal. This will send the Profile to the device and also begin the Profile automatically.

Controlling a Profile

When a Profile is running on the device, each step of the Profile can be viewed in the Profiles menu of the device.

The Profile can be controlled directly. You can Pause or Stop the currently active Profile.

Using the Up or Down buttons, you can navigate to each step in the currently active Profile.

Selecting a Profile step will commence that step unless it is already active.

Selecting a Profile step may also show other opptions depending on the nature of the Profile step. For example, selecting a Profile step with a duration timer will bring up a slider that allows you to choose the point at which to begin the step. These options are dependant on the type of Profile step being selected.

Stopping a Profile

To stop running or to pause the Fermentation Profile on the device press Select to enter the Profile Menu.

In the Profile Menu use the Up or Down buttons to navigate to and Select either Pause this profile or End this profile.

Pause this profile will stop the current profile until it is started again in the Profile menu

Stop this profile will stop the profile
