    iSpindel got wet last brew and now it won't power on

    I think one of the problems is my on/off switch is bad. If I short the on-side pins of the switch together, I get 4v at the gyro board and Dallas Sensor. I'm using a new D1 mini with the angular cut corners (not rounded corners) - which I remember seeing in some other thread that it might be a...

    iSpindel got wet last brew and now it won't power on

    When connecting everything up as before - D1 mini on the long PCB (but using the new D1 Mini), I still don't see the AP Mode/SSID of the iSpindel. I wonder if the DS18B20 or the Gyro sensor is fried since they're the lowest in the tube when beer got in it last time. I measured the following...

    iSpindel got wet last brew and now it won't power on

    I took the D1 Mini off the long PCB and had no serial output when connect it to Arduino IDE. I flashed a new D1 Mini and am getting output, but it won't start up the AP mode. Do I have to solder it onto the board before the AP mode will start? Output of the D1 mini when not soldered on the...

    iSpindel got wet last brew and now it won't power on

    Something is hosed with my iSpindel. When I plug power into it to charge, the red light comes on. It goes out later, I'm assuming after the battery is fully charged. When I power it on, the blue light on the controller board doesn't light up at all. It doesn't get any power in either position of...

    iSpindle Concentrators, Repeaters, Bridges, Hubs

    I made a simple WiFi repeater/extender out of a D1 Mini. Nothing fancy. Homemade WiFi exender using the ESP8266 I ferment in corny kegs (iSpindel inside), connected via WiFi to the repeater next to the keg. The repeater connects to both the iSpindel and my home WiFi and Fermentrack running on a VM.

    Home Assistant port of KEGCOP

    I'm starting to get some things to show up. Not totally working though. I just have 1 keg, 1 kegerator (and relay to turn it on/off), 1 flow meter, 3 temp sensors, 1 solenoid for turning on a tower fan. Getting some Entity not available errors (keg size, keg date), and...

    Home Assistant port of KEGCOP

    I have a lot to learn about making dashboards from scratch. It will take me many days to get a dashboard that looks like yours. But am learning along the way. Adding MariaDB and whatever configs I put in for that broke my Grafana stats. Gotta figure that one out because I use Grafana frequently.

    There are a few different MariaDB formats for URL in the recorder: page of HA. MariaDB (omit pymysql) mysql://user:password@SERVER_IP/DB_NAME?charset=utf8mb4 MariaDB (omit pymysql, using TLS encryption) mysql://user:password@SERVER_IP/DB_NAME?charset=utf8mb4;ssl=true MariaDB (omit pymysql...

    I see on the HA recorder: page, a mention of the importance of database startup before Home Assistant starts. Did you have to do that? https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/recorder/#database-startup

    Nevermind. I see in the HA documentation, InfluxDB is not listed.

    I'm definitely not a HA expert. And when it comes to coding -- no clue. But is there a reason you installed MariaDB instead of using InfluxDB? I already have Influx installed. And is the db_url the same IP/URL as the HA server/PI?

    Fermentrack: Fermentation monitoring & BrewPi-www Replacement for Raspberry Pi

    I use OpenVPN to check my home/local LAN devices when away. There are free VPN options like that you can install on your phone and a device at home to get remote access. Just connect the VPN and browse like you're at home. Your temperature screenshot doesn't look like an error. It's just not...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I've followed all your directions with no success or change in function. I followed all except I wasn't able to decipher the Firefox output or the serial output either and didn't save it for review. Yeah, probably the most important part. It's OK - I've switched back to version 1.1.1 and am OK...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I had the trouble even when the ESP was not connected to my PCB and no temp sensors or flow meter were connected. Just connected on its own to the PC powering it. I had the same problem whether using Brave (offshoot of Chrome) or Edge browser. I didn't do anymore testing and just went back to...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    My controller just doesn't like the 1.2 versions of firmware. It's not fully loading any of the web pages when on 1.2. It runs perfect on 1.1. I'll stick with 1.1 and just not have the tower fan control.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I did as you suggested. It then gave the option to update to 1.2.0. I updated the firmware and afterwards saw: Settings Error: Settings update failed. The firmware was at 1.2.0, but the filesystem was at 1.1.1. I updated again to 1.2.0 and still the same. Additionally, I lost all of the...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I've had trouble with the 1.2.0-alpha versions with the ESP crashing and clearing the temp sensors. Web page loads for the Setup page were super slow or didn't load at all. I can run 1.1.1 with no trouble at all. I'd like to use the 1.2.0 version to get the tower fan control. If I use...

    That hard to describe vibration feeling when you rub your hand over something electrical

    I figured out what caused the vibration feeling. It was what I used for supplying power to the controller. At first, I used a 12v DC adapter that powered both the 12v DC computer fans in the Kegerator as well as a 5v DC/DC convertor to run the ESP32 (or Raspberry Pi) through the homemade PCB...
