Look into adding programs as firewall exceptions. I believe Defender allows it, but I'm not home to play with it. Here's an article to see if you can have the firewall but allow BC. https://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-change-windows-firewalls-list-allowed-blocked-apps/ If you have a WiFi...

Great to hear! Thanks for the update

BruControl has been great. I've even advanced to having Node/Node-RED take over a lot of automation (fermentation steps and such), but BruControl w/ its globals and scripting work great as the ultimate backend for it. You are limited by your own imagination (and willingness to learn new coding...

Awesome! It was a good learning experience, clearly, and now you see the app's config structure. The documentation is very helpful, and you can get creative with the very simple script language. For naming, yes, it's interesting to see the variation. I use BC for the cold side only. Each...

Does it play nice now? And yeah, the start/stop statements are used for other scripts or timers. I have an "overall" script for each fermenter that, based on the respective "Ferm Status" being true or false, either starts all my associated scripts and enables devices or stops/disables. That...

For 'start "Prime_Pump_1",' are you trying to start another script or some timer? It seems like this script is the pump 1 priming script, so just need to know what is being started

Ah, look in your Documents folder. There should be a "Brucontrol" folder there. Then look for default.brucfg and go from there :)

You can restore an old config file (e.g., yesterday's). But that'll undo any changes you made in BC since that file was created. Alternatively, make a copy of the current default.brucfg version as a fresh backup, and then in the original file, search in for the code element. Make sure to remove...

Hah, love seeing the differences in setups and global/device names. That's what makes BruControl so great. You can truly choose your own adventure (and run your water sprinklers with it, if you wanted)

It's been a while since I shared here, mostly because BC continues to run great, and my setup has been stable. Problem That said, I kept having issues with Tilt accuracy, as changing the battery throws off its original calibration, which is why the Tilt/Tilt2 app has its own calibration means...

Nice! My latest brew was a British Brown. It's wrapping up as we speak.

I think I might have an issue with ESP32 firmware v.46F. I installed it on an ESP32 that I have for one fermenter the other day, and it is reading 0.768. My other ESP32 with v46D (I believe) and my Tilt app (calibrated and uncalibrated) show a closer-to-accurate 1.011. The uncalibrated...

Ah, very cool all around. Welp, let me know if you get stuck somewhere or have questions about some NR features. Sounds like you've made great progress.

When you say "we," are you running a brewery? CSV is a good call for storage, but the files will stack up take up a lot of space. If just storing brewday data, it might not stack up quickly, but it will in time. You can work a way to save the data as a Google Sheet for cloud storage (put the...

It was my pleasure to help. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you on our thread yet. Busy work week then busy weekend with the homebrew club (I'm a cabinet member, and we hosted the greater DC-area clubs for a get together). As a note, you can either change the .txt file to a .json file or open...

I was asked about a basic Node-RED flow to get started with using BruControl's data exchange server. I figured I'd share the sample flow code here as well. Just copy the following code, then in Node-RED, go to the menu and select Import. Paste the code and click okay, and the flow will appear...

Seconding this. Mine got really large as well, so I deleted it and did away with SQL. I have my brew stats pulled from Brucontrol by Node-RED and sent to Supabase (a free database like Firebase) and Brewfather, so I can see both historical and current data when needed. Saves me from very large...

Now if Lilygo or Robodyn woule make a S3 board with integrated relays and such, we'd be in business. Does the firmware support the S3 yet?

Yeah, I know... so much MCU power though! I'm playing with the S3 and C3 on some scale and tap display projects. I'm liking them a lot.
