The RAPT Temperature Controller is a WiFi and Bluetooth enabled Temperature Controller with outlets for heating and cooling.
The RAPT Temperature Controller is part of the RAPT ecosystem. Fully WiFi and Bluetooth* capable, the RAPT ecosystem allows for real time logging, remote control and powerful Automations to unlock precise, accurate and easy fermentation control from anywhere in the world!
Using the RAPT Brew App, its super fast and easy to create powerful and accurate Automations to control every fermentation from start to finish.
The RAPT Temperature Controller allows you to convert any old fridge or freezer into a modern, powerful, RAPT enabled fermentation chamber. Integrate heating by simply plugging in a heat belt or wrapping a Heating Wrap Belt around your fermenter
With clearly indicated red and blue external plug fittings for heating and cooling, and a long extension temperature probe, this can be set up for use almost anywhere. The large and clear full colour TFT screen makes seeing real time temperature and gravity* readings fast and easy.
Using a RAPT Pill Hydrometer & Thermometer as the temperature sensor, you can completely automate your fermentation by linking temperature steps to the actual, real time gravity velocity! Essentially, the fermentation temperature will automagically increase as needed to maintain a fast, healthy and complete fermentation as the rate of change of gravity slows down.
See video below on how to do this:
Network Capable
The RAPT Temperature Controller will connect to your 2.4gHz home WiFI network. You can also connect your RAPT Pill via Bluetooth directly to the Controller to allow incredibly accurate temperature control from directly inside the fermenter. Using the RAPT Brew App, it is fast and easy to create powerful Automations to control your fermentation remotely and precisely!
Flexible Mounting Options
This innovative design enables you to panel mount this controller, mount to a hanging point or hook or mount on top of a fridge or brewery. Simply unscrew the mounting plate and switch the mounting to your preferred orientation. Refer to the User Guide for more detail.
Powerful Temperature Control
The temperature range of this device will enable you to control devices from -20°C and up to 120°C.
RAPT Brew App & RAPT Brew Web App
All RAPT Devices work through the RAPT Brew App. The RAPT Brew App is a native IOS and Android App with easy to use but amazingly powerful features. Setup complex Automations to control fermentation and brewing. Monitor your beer remotely every step of the way. Automatically carbonate using the RAPT Spunding Valve, or track your consumption and make sure your kegs never run dry with the RAPT Laser Level Sensor.
The RAPT ecosystem includes products that automate every step of the brewing process, and also bring fantastically powerful control/ Using a RAPT Pill in conjunction with a RAPT Fermentation Chamber or Temperature Controller unlocks the ability to control your fermentation using real time gravity data – ensuring a fast, clean and complete fermentation every time!
The power of RAPT can be accessed anywhere you have internet access, using the RAPT Brew App or the RAPT Brew Web App (coming very soon)
The RAPT Temperature Controller 220-240V AC allows remote monitoring and control of heating and cooling devices via the internet. It features a color screen for easy temperature management, supports complex temperature profiles, and offers various mounting options. The temperature range is from -20C to 120C, and it includes PID heating for better control.

Reviews
The perfect add on to the Rapt Ecosystem
"Got this Bad Boy to upgrade from my old STC 1000. And to link it to all my other Rapt stuff. This was a simple plug-and-play, and I tested it with my Bluetooth thermometer was already calibrated. Easy menu to navigate through and awesome videos to familiarise yourself with it on YouTube. It's on the side of my fridge and easily picks up the signals from the pill. Being able to have either the graph of the temp displayed is awesome."
— Darren B. (5/5)
I love this unit, built
"I love this unit, built in as part of a bigger project with a free chest freezer off marketplace so i have my own automated fermentation chamber, working like a charm, can manage from anywhere on my phone. Awesome product."
— Hugh G. (5/5)
Great quality unit
"After having an old temp controller finally die, I decided on one of these units. Apart from a bit of messing around to get it registered on the rapt. io website, I love this thing. It’s well made and very accurate, I’ll definitely replace my other controller with one of these in the near future."
— Brad H. (5/5)
RAPT Temp Controller
"Since upgrading from a regular temp controller to the RAPT one it has changed the game for my set and forget fermentation. Highly recommended!"

RAPT Temp controller and pill
"Once setup working well, setup was a bit fiddley but OK. Doing the job"
— Anthony (5/5)
Good idea. Poor execution
"It’s a useful unit. The app is rubbish and a waste of time. I do however make use of the web portal. It seem to be a case of development by complaint. They do invite and respond to feedback on YouTube but this should be for upgrades. Not for basic functionality as a package"
— Roman (3/5)
Easy to use
"simple and excellent controller, very easy to use and integrates well."
— Jesse J. (5/5)
versatile
"I replaced my old STC-1000 with this controller. it's a lot more accurate and has way more settings, plus I dont need to go out to the shed to monitor things. I've recently used this controller to manage temperatures in a chicken egg incubator. The pid heating, dual point calibration, fine level of control, plus the web monitor is pefect. I can maintain very fine temperatures within a fraction of a degree. The STC was only able to maintain +-1 degree, which isnt ideal."
— Mr G. (5/5)

"Using this for keeping my chest freezer at cellar temps for aging. Can’t fault it"

Q&A
any chance of adapting this to run a 12v outlet?
You should be able to simply plug this into a transformer!
How is the progress on the controller with a pinch valve to regulate the flow from the chiller?
Progressing really well, but no in store ETA yet sorry
Hi Guys the older MK2 controller is accurate to 0.1 degrees C and can be used to automate a still by accurately holding the column temperature.. Can this unit be used the same way with your reflux and Pot still columns on a digiboil the same way the Mk2 can be? just ensuring the units sample rate and accuracy, and prob diameter means it can be used the same way. Thanks
The RAPT Controller has the same degree of accuracy. However it doe snot yet have this type of Distillation Mode.
Hi Team, is there any way or dimming or switching off the display at night or when I don’t need it to be on? I’m currently covering the temperature controller at night - makes it easier for me to sleep, but I’d prefer just to switch the light off.
Not at present, sorry. An option to turn off the display is in GitLab as a feature request though
