The exit condition for temperature >= setpoint doesn't work in Processes 4-7. It is always forced to <=. Current workaround is to use Processes 0-3 where this exit condition may be used.
Thanks Arnie for pointing this out. This bug could cause some confusion to new users, so we'll probably release a new firmware in the next week or so to fix it, as well as clean up some of the other 3.3 stuff that's popped up.

Ugh! I got bit by this bug today! I needed to add a heater to an output for my fermenter fridge, but using Process 7 caused it to loop between states since it could not accurately test the probe temperature.

This bug is part of v3.3? Just wasted 2 hours trying to figure out what was going wrong. Any ETA for v3.4?

It'll be a few weeks.
Re: Temp >= exit condition broken in processes 4-7
Is there a fix for this issue yet or update on when it will be fixed? I had been trying to figure out why my simple program wasn't working. Now I know and knowing is half the battle...

Yes, the next firmware release is imminent. Just a few more things need testing, looking at probably Monday.
