## Configuration
All parameters are defined in config.py, review/change to your mind's content.
All parameters are defined in config.py. You need to read through config.py carefully to understand each setting.
You should change, test, and verify PID parameters in config.py. You need to read through config.py carefully to understand each setting.
You may want to change the configuration parameter **sensor_time_wait**. It's the duty cycle for the entire system. It's set to two seconds by default which means that a decision is made every 2s about whether to turn on relay[s] and for how long. If you use mechanical relays, you may want to increase this. At 2s, my SSR switches 11,000 times in 13 hours.
You should change **temp_scale** to either f for Farenheit or c for Celcius.
