    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I do. I can't nail down a cause other than some electrical interference in the boards I'm using (ESP32 boards with 4 relays, so perhaps some back-power spikes). Most of the time, they come back online, but since sometimes they don't without a reset, I plugged each one into Sonoff S31 WiFi smart...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Hard part remains all the scripts so the app can change a global and then trigger the other events... a configuration file with a set consistency is a good approach though. I'll look into this a bit. And Fire Tablet is based on Android, so it should. Also, I built this with React Native, which...

    Brew Boss v3.0 circa 2018

    Ahh. Interesting choice, but likely was the top thing at that time. The mentioned code above could work, but that would wipe the BrewBoss code and leave you with nothing if it fails. I also wonder if that even has enough memory...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    My mobile app I created to let me interact with BruControl from anywhere made it into Zymurgy! Even cooler, another member from my club was also featured for a simple-yet-effective means to close-add biofine to a keg. We joked that we made it for the most- and least-techie brew gadgets. I wish...

    Brew Boss v3.0 circa 2018

    Sounds like a good opportunity to give it a bit of an overhaul, including the controller. I had considered doing this to my old BrewBoss, but ended up with a BrewZilla (wanted more capacity). But it is definitely doable, and I'd suggest BruControl as the control software, but the creator has...

    Brew Boss v3.0 circa 2018

    Impressive amount of code and features for an ESP32. Nice work! I use these with Brucontrol firmware mainly (fermentation control), but I've coded a few for my own projects (data display, keg scales, etc.) Since Brucontrol's person has been MIA, I've been tempted to start a Node-based project...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I came across this post from BrunDog over on the brucontrol forums. Maybe it can help you: https://brucontrol.com/community/scripts/brewery-code/#post-35

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    If you are handy with Node-RED (NR), you can have your data go to Supabase (its POSTGRES insteal of SQL, but from NR, you use a module and JSON format). It is free for basic, low-volume use, and it works as my backend for my mobile app. You'll just need a way to uniquely identify a batch so you...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    A very good question... it has concerned me as well. I've been temped to either start an open source project for a replacement control software using Node.js (making it able to run in any system with a web-based React UI) or at least build out a Node-RED module and dashboard with the same...

    Homebrew Talk 3D Print Thread.

    I'd have to look at my design to get sizing, but I leave a hole for the brass inserts. I take a torch-type lighter to warm the PLA in the hole, which makes screwing the inserts in easy, and the inserts stay in place well once the PLA cools around it.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    BC picks up the Tilts without issue. The only difference is with the regular Tilts, the SG and temp values appear as expected, while for the Tilt Pro Mini (and, thus, I assume the Tilt Pro), I had to divide the SG and temp by 10 in the calibration tab to get the right value. Not sure why it is...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Just got my Tilt Pro Mini in and tested it. It works on BC! But you have to set a linear divider of 10 for both the SG and temp so you get the right decimal. But the pro minis have resolution to the ten thousandth place, so you can set the decimal places to 4.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Is anyone using the newer Tilt Pros or Tilt Pro Minis on BC? I.e., BC finds them without issue? I know their UUIDs slightly differ

    Made my own Android app for my homebrew setup

    Thank you! It's nice to check-in when not near my PC or trigger events on brew/transfer day

    Made my own Android app for my homebrew setup

    Yeah... I'm a huge closet nerd. Just gotta tinker! I did C++ in high school but remember nada from it. But during COVID, I dove into JavaScript and Arduino (C/C++). Then I learned about the beauty of React.js, and that has now led me to React Native. Maybe I'll come up with an actual useful app...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Hey all! I just made a post in the parent automated brewing forum about an Android app I coded (using React Native and Expo) so I can check-in on and control BruControl from anywhere. My setup relies heavily on Node-RED for secure data input/fetching and Supabase for fermentation and other brew...

    Made my own Android app for my homebrew setup

    Figured I'd show off my homebrew management app project since I am very proud of it. (if on mobile, you may have to go full screen to see the full app screen... I'm new to uploading things on YouTube). I code as a hobby. I've coded my own keg scales (and management system...I also 3D print)...

    5 and 10 gallons for me, but I can do 15 and would consider it with this!

    BrewPressure - DIY pressure sensor

    How precise and steady have you found these types of pressure sensors to be? I currently use these pressure transducers from Amazon US to monitor fermenter head pressure. While it is great for my general measurement purposes, it has a lot of signal issues when going to the thousandth place...
