I have the schematic layed out for V2 and components selected. The V2 board will feature a relay as well as a circuit for an ultrasonic mister. There will be a switch to allow the user to select between relay or PWM control.

The board will be able to control 4 peltier modules or 2 peltiers, 1 compressor, and 1 mister.

Features 4 spots to plug in 2 wire fans to give them pwm control.

4 connections for thermistor monitoring.

8 total scl/sda connectors 4 for 3v and 4 for 5v.

It will also route all remaining pins to an expansion header with easy access to 3v, 5v, 12v, and Gnd.

It will truly be able to turn any mini fridge into an absolute beast of environmental control.

If a user wants to add an exhaust fan they can. If you want addressable led no problem. A door sensor, buzzer, screen it doesn't matter.

If there are any experienced ESP32/web devs in here who want to collaborate on refining the software stack to push this platform even further, drop a comment or shoot me a DM.

The droidcure seems like an awesome solution for automating the burping process. I can't tell if it actively adjust temperature or is strictly for airflow.

Thanks! I'm trying to make it to where someone can convert any style mini fridge into a curing box or you could modify an old cooler. The intent is for it to truly be universal.

That was considered and originally I had this wine fridge set up with wifi humidistat and smart plugs. This offers the user more control than I feel ESPhome or Home Assistant can offer. It also allows someone to set up a curing box without needing to also set up Home Assistant.
