I think I found the one. Thank you!

Thanks for this. Looks like the holy grail is a 5v, 100mbar/0m1bar sanitary version, but at least I have some good direction now. I could try 4-20 mA with an ADC too... just more wiring then I'm looking forward to, hah

Anyone using a pressure sensor/transducer in their kettles to measure volume? If so, what sensor/transducer are you using? I use a transducer for my fermenter to measure head pressure, so the 30psi ones are fine for that, but I see that 30psi is far overkill for my Brewzilla Gen4 65L. I'm...

Sounds good. Report back and feel free to follow-up if there are still issues. It still amazes me how basic Brucontrol's setup is yet still allows for creative solutions to issues 🍻

Depending on how you manage the loop, this would always keep resuming and cycling until the false is hit (inefficient use of system resources). I'd say use wait for both, that way the loop holds until the drop happens. So: [Loop] wait "tempsensor" connected == false pause "washcycle" wait...

All device elements have a "connected" property. I use that to see if an ESP32 drops on WiFi. So select an element to watch and use connect, e.g., if "Keg Washer 1 Valve" connected == false //Whatever you want done if it drops endif

Coming back to this more, you can't have two apps share the same port on any OS. So NR should be 1880 be default, and I believe BC is 8000 by default. Your NR flow should communicate with BC's dedicated port

Node-RED is 1880 by default. I think BC should be 8000 or anything other than 1880

Scripts should be in it. Open the file and search for a piece of your code (perhaps a endif statement). If it isn't in default.bruconfg, check other brucfg files. Depends what profile you have set in BC settings. Can always copy and paste the scripts into a file, but that can be a pain, hah

First and foremost is keep your brucfg file. Normally, that is default.brucfg, but if you have other profiles set up, then save those. Keep the Config Backup folder in case you need to revert to a saved config when BC last acted right.

Oh! I bought one of these already. Figured if I went with my own control software project, this would be my go-to board (I have other Waveshare boards, including their touchscreens; good stuff). But if we see an update to BC with S3 support....game changer. I know BrunDog was playing with the S3...

Looks like it runs ESP32-S3, which sadly won't work at this time. I keep hoping we'll get ESP32-S3 and -C3 support at some point, as the S3 is powerful and flexible.

I should make a YouTube video testing them all, hah. The SS is intended for an impending single-vessel solera project (it'sa half-barrel). There was a good deal from a local guy getting out of the hobby. I started with the 14g Brewbuilt and loved it but wished I had more ports. I then got the...

Oh, nice idea. BC can manage the Sonoff's relay for your controller. Hopefully, it doesn't face the same issue, but my initial Sonoffs never gave issues like that. Also, having an ESP control an ESP....

I've had issues with my 4-relay ESP32 boards doing that at times, but those are powered by 110v (board has stepdowns, of course). For me, it seemed like power flow issues since the relays run the same 110v series (so solenoid flies open or shut quickly, adding a jolt to the current), so not sure...
