smaller, cheaper wifi board.What’s that?
smaller, cheaper wifi board.
I think eventually it might be. Right now (according to the google) it has similar capabilities from a hardware perspective, but the software stack is just in the formative stages. Its interface appears to be some strange Lua hybrid.Usage? Is it an alternative to vemos boards?
There is an excellent thread on how to mod the STC1000 if you have the corrected version of the controller.@Thorrak Thanks for building this project. I just recently started brewing again and the world of technology has really improved. I recently ordered the STC-1000 in hopes of monitoring my Fermentation, but yesterday came across this project. I started looking for the ESP8266v2 boards, but I cannot locate. Do you happen to have an updated part list posted somewhere where a noob can locate updated parts list and hopefully put together this project. I do already have a rasp pi device.

I'm not understanding your question. What board did you order?Thanks for the information, but is there a diagram that I can follow posted some place? I don't have the boards yet but I want to make sure I have the part required.
I am sorry and I am not sure what the heck happened to the rest of the post...I'm not understanding your question. What board did you order?

I have on order the WeMos D1 Mini ESP8266 board, LCD 20x4 I2C LCD Screen and D1 Breakout - LCD SMD Dupont RJ45. I am thinking that a power supply, Do you have a recommendation?
Not having the boards on hand it kind of hard to see the finished product and I was asking if there is a diagram that show all off the boards and connections?
This is what I think the finish product would look like and instead of the Uno board replace with the ESP8266.

been a while since I accessed the raw data but thought I used to be able to download or access it from Django . can t find it now
I was able to ssh into the raspi via FileZilla and get the full csv.
Is there a spot in Django that I can get to it from there or somewhere else without leaving fermentrack?
Thanks Gerry
Yes, thanks for the suggestions! I've added the following issue to GitHub to track the above, and will try to get them implemented shortly: https://github.com/thorrak/fermentrack/issues/306
Does anyone know how to change the colour of the graph lines?
I'm also interested to work out why sometimes fermentrack keeps such a bang-on temperature (varying by only 0.08 or so degrees C) and other times it's gets itself into a cycling loop of heating and cooling and overshoots by .25 degree either way.
Click the "Gear" icon in the upper right, then choose "Django Admin". Click into "Config" (under Constance). You can change all the graph colors there.
Thanks
Regarding the BrewPi controller, i understand now it's not part of fermentrack. is there another forum where I should be directing those questions to the right people? Ta
this board Description: ESP8266 Breakout Board for BrewPi - Through Hole /w LCD looks like it has to places for relays to be soldered onto th e board. https://pcbs.io/share/46AR1 Can someone confirm this, and if so what is the relay part #?

Does the current version of Fermentrack support a LED screen? or do you have to download additional code/software for this?
The 20x4 LCD display that connects to the PC breakout board. Using the level shifter.Like, an LCD connected to the raspberry pi?
Because this thread has evolved, I am having a hard time figuring out the starting point. I think the Fermentrack is something I will want so I want to start pricing/purchasing parts.
I am finding it difficult to see the links between BrewPi, chipsets, and Fermentrack. Is there a HOWTO that starts with what to purchase, how to wire it, and what to install?
Just thought I would share here that I just made and posted a 3D Print for the sensor breakout board. It worked pretty great. I might glue a couple of thin magnets to the back to enable me to stick it up on the side of my refrig or inside for that matter. Anyway - it was a fun little projet to build.

Just dipping my toes into the waters here when I found myself in the dark, literally!
What is the expected behavior of the ESP8266 runnning brewpi following a whole home power outtage?
In my situation, when power returned, the ESP8266 came up before my router was back online.
I keep meaning to write one, but haven't managed to have a good, rainy weekend day where I've been stuck at home in order to get it done. For now, I'd refer to the two posts I made awhile back which were targeted at a slightly older version of the enclosure. Both are available here:

I too would be interested in a more updated wiring diagram. I see the potential of what this can do (I am currently using it to monitor my STC controlled temps). But I'm not quite sure how to bridge the gap between wiring of the STC to the esp.
I am using a modified version of this case which is essentially just the STC switching an outlet. I would love to continue with the wall outlet approach using Fermentrack. I imagine a relay would handle the heavy lifting based on the heat/cool pins of the esp. Definitely could use some more example material to work with.
, is it possible to get a url for the graph? I'd like to embed it on a smart home web server. Your graph seems to be truly embedded with the fermentrack page without any options to reference it.
Hey Thorrak,
I added the iSpindel I built as a gravity device -- it was super simple to setup and the calibration tool was great too (thanks!). I brewed yesterday and I'm using the iSpindel for the first time.
I have a quick question about the way gravity is displayed on the graphs on the dashboard. For the dashboard for my fermentation controller (I use a brewpi), the gravity is being displayed as "steps." On the iSpindel dashboard page, the graph is much smoother and looks like points are getting logged every 900 seconds (15 min). Is this the normal behavior? (Here are screenshots) Thanks!
