Stainless Lobster Fridge Optimizer - Serial Connection

Proposal

Every 60 seconds the fridge optimizer controller will write to the usb/serial port a string of comma seperated numerical values. Example: "1,700,1,-6.61,40,26.67,70,12.4,5.6"

Float value representing relative humidity in percent

Float value with two effective decimals Example: 12.38

Values

1. compressorStatus: Compressor status - Is the compressor running.
   • 0 = Not running
   • 1 = Running at min RPM
   • 2 = Running at max RPM
2. defrostStatus: Defrost mode status - Is the system defrosting.
   • 0 = not in defrost mode
   • 1 = Defrosting
3. boxFan: Fridge Fan status - Is the fan running inside the box.
   • 0 = Not running
   • 1 = Running
4. compressorFan: Room Room Fan status - Is the fan running in the compressor room.
   • 0 = Not running
   • 1 = Running
5. boxTemp: Box temp - Measured on fan enclosure. Localized (F/C). Float value with two digits or "nan" if no sensor is present. Example: 39.05
6. controllerTemp: Ambient temp - Temperature of the head unit. Localized (F/C). Float value with two digits or "nan" if no sensor is present. Measured in the head unit enclosure. Example: 75.72.
7. boxHumidity: Box relative humidity - Relative humidity percentage. Measured on fan enclosure. Float value representing relative humidity in percent. Example: 55.72.
8. controllerHumidity: Ambient relative humidity - Relative humidity percentage. Measured in the head unit enclosure. Float value representing relative humidity in percent. Example: 73.21.
9. compressorVolts: System Voltage - Voltage measured at head unit.

Future Values

1. compressorAmps: Compressor Amps - Number of amps being consumed by the compressor.
