TODO:

• write UI for real incubator programs (for example heat 3 days at 30C, then switch to cooling at 4C indefinite)
• write UI for preset programs (ferment tempeh; kimchi fridge; brew ginger beer etc)
• figure out what optional second temp sensor should change in logic
• take out float code from temp lib
