Another small thing I've been meaning to mention. The first time I set up the wifi, I selected the first SSID to configure from the list, configured the password, then clicked in the second SSID field and repeated. When I had difficulty accessing (the second SSID had very poor connection from...

Great idea, hadn't thought of that.

After posting I did what I should have done first and checked the code and did confirm that C was being used. However, I couldn't figure out why the correction wasn't being applied with the feature enabled. The testing was done with the iSpindel at 10C so the correction factor would have been...

I was testing the gravity temperature correction feature and it doesn't appear to be working. While in configuration mode, corr-gravity-sg and corr-gravity-plato have been added to the data feed and, with the 'Temperature adjust gravity' feature enabled, the results when pressing test are the...

As expected, brewblox automatically populates display options for graphs and metrics widgets for every parameter it receives from the iSpindel. So I can add any of the key options you have provided and they show up as a display option. You can also add unit info in brackets as you suggested...

Will do and will report back to you tomorrow. It did occur to me that the topic data and the | at the end might have been the reason it didn't render like the others. Thanks for confirming. I did test adding the iSpindel id as well and that worked fine.

Will do, there may be a couple additional data points I might try just to see how BB handles it. Really versatile system and I think BB will expand the available fields for a graph or metrics based on what it receives. As I am down-under, temp-c was good but am I correct that if we use just...

Yes, that is what I used, brewcast as the topic and the history service as the path in the format you show above. I'll review the docs once your update is complete. All five data points have been reporting fine.

You sorted it on the first try. I had tried a few things with the data format before posting the query late last night but hadn't properly looked into the data requirements. Thanks heaps.

Thanks. I found the topic info here: GitHub - bdelbosc/brewblox-ispindel: DEPRECATED BrewBlox Service for the iSpindel Hydrometer and what appears to be the format for communicating with mqtt event handler in the iSpindel Sender.h library, specifically, 'server, port, topic, username, password...

mper - I prefer your replacement firmware as it is more versatile than the original, great effort. No issues setting it up to log to Fermentrack however I have been unable to successfully log to BrewBlox using MQTT. The issue is BB needs the path/uri set as well which is brewcast/history (the...

Note the Black Box uses a programmable version of the STC-1000 flashed with the firmware alphaomega developed and freely distributes. Anyone wanting to build their own as an alternative, and use this excellent firmware upgrade, needs to ensure they purchase the correct STC-1000. Details are...

If you buy the programmable version of the STC1000, it can be flashed with new firmware that will also provide precise control over a fermentation profile. An Arduino is required reprogram the controller but it is fairly easy to do. Options and details are available here...

TexasWine, Good point, the 230 V system draws less than 10 amps so it isn't an issue here. However, you are correct that the installed relays are limited to 10 amps so the heating relay would have to be replaced with a higher capacity one for North American use. There are some guides online on...

Hi Shawn, Nice article. As you might expect, there are a lot of Grainfather owners here in NZ. The early models had some issues but the company that makes them is very responsive and listens to, and often implements, customer input. The latest model, especially the upgraded wort chiller...
