AutoTune PID

AutoTune determines suitable starting values for P, I, and D based on your real hardware and process behavior.

When to use it

• first setup of a kettle

• after major hardware changes (volume, heating power, sensor position)

• when temperature behavior changes persistently

Preconditions

• realistic brew-day volume

• same pump/stirrer setup as in real operation

• plausible calibrated sensors

Recommended flow

1. AutoTune step by step

2. PID instructions

3. Brew-day quick guide
