    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Yeah I used and SSR for a mini sous vide works fine.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Actually not quite. I think the pink wire should go middle to middle on the relay. Basically using the one live in to either heat or cool. So when it's not heating the power is diverted to the cooling and vice versa.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Really sorry about my crude drawings and photos Was in a rush and only had felt tips to use. Plug A and Plug B are the plug sockets and not plugs themselves. I would get two single sockets and a double back panel B&Q is a good place to see the various options available I went cheap. The...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    the Uk version is very very similar. The only difference being is that if you use two separate plugs (I suggest you do) is that you need to create the earth and neutral tab you seen in the attached picture. You can do this by wiring.the earth and neutral to one plug, and then taking a spur...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I'll take a pic of how I set mine up tomorrow. Or draw one at least it's very similar to the original drawing (and has worked for well over a year now) but I might not be the simplest method.

    Other than shavers everything runs off these http://www.diy.com/departments/crabtree-13a-1-gang-white-unswitched-socket/179858_BQ.prd I've wired two of these for my brewpi.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I used two single plug sockets and wires them into a box as there isn't a metal tab to cut in the UK down to the way they're wired. So take the power in and splice it to two sockets and wire each one up separately if that's makes any sense. The earth and neutral, you wire directly to the plug...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Yep Daytrippr has one search there is a thread on here something like brewpi LCD shield or similar https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=510036 Cadibrewer and a few others have knocked up some PCB you can order if you do a quick scan of past posts

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    If i revert to legacy will I need to do anything to ensure that the ESP still gets recognised?

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Think i may have found another bug when trying to set up as a Sous Vide (i'm getting there though) 1. Under web GUI select Fridge constant and adjust to 50c, (brewpi goes into Fridge Constant but automatically adjusted to 30c for some reason) 2. go to advance settings and manually adjust Fridge...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Does anyone have any idea when the Min max Temp adjustment under advanced settings got dropped? I had to drop my min temp in the fridge to held keep my layering temperature steady, and was also hoping to in all seriousness use my brewpi for a mini mash in a crocpot as well as sousvide, so...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    under advanced settings -> view logs, i have a blank screen under stderr: where usually i'd have the out put that i get when i send a command to the ESbrewPi. stdout: shows BrewPi: wifiChecker: Successfully pinged 10.0.1.1 (Thu 15 Dec 20:30:01 UTC 2016)

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Wifi Version seems to work fine at the moment. Well apart from it not logging anymore. no issues with the GUI having to be reset, and sending commands to the ESbrewPi doesn't seem to cause it to reset either. I'll wire it up and test it out on as a SousVide this weekend. Arrrgh...

    Hmmm getting the in the LCD screen now? using serial version. will update with wifi version and see if that makes a difference

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    just a quick ask as my google search isn't coming up with the right answer, so i'm probably asking the wrong question. at the moment to update, i'm going to the github and downloading the bin file i need and then using cyber duck to drop it into the folder on my pi? is there any easier way to...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Appreciate that this probably now isn't the forum to be debugging, but I will for the time being. gone back to a serial connection again to try and track the logs and errors the link to my previous post. Erase Logs Dec 15 2016 15:00:04 Fresh start! Log files erased. Restore...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    playing around with this again doing some testing i guess. First off, there is a difference in behaviour between serial connection and wifi connection in terms of the web gui. When you update via wifi, I have to reboot the RPI to resync (?) the web gui. with serial it actually seems to work...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    I must confess I don't exactly know what any of the above does but can confirm your last paragraph is correct. Install and upgrade.py works well though and confirms I'm on the right distro

    I'll fresh install my RPI this afternoon and give it another shot. If there are any logs I can grab from my RPI let me know and I'll post with my results
