    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Thanks Lee!!! All 3 of my temp sensors are exactly the same now. Flow Meter calibration works also. The only thing I might have noticed is a random reboot of the ESP. It was unresponsive for a while. I saw the blue LED flash and then stop.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Done. Put in the "issues" section. I didn't see a section for feature requests.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I am NOT bashing on KegCop because I really do like it and plan on switching to it once a couple more bugs are exterminated. Nor poo-poo'ing anyone's desire for more accurate measurements. I appreciate the time and effort all these smart people like Lee put into projects like this because I have...

    Fermentrack Question

    I certainly am not a programmer or know how to change cooling delays in code. I'm using the latest version of Fermentrack (based on telling it to upgrade and it knowing I already have the latest release - Can't tell you what version number that is). I don't understand Docker very much. Sorry...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I'm using the newest Beta - 2 version of the KegCop firmware. I've tried with the temp set to both F and C with no difference. I put the 3 sensors in a glass of ice water. All together in the center of the glass. 42.8F, 38.3F and 29.3F. Am I expecting the KegCop calibration to be able to...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I have 3 temp sensors. One shows 80.6F, another 77.9F and the third at 70.7F and they're all in the same room within inches of each other. I'm trying to adjust them so they all read the same. How does the temp sensor calibration work? I don't think it's like I expect since I still don't see it...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I got some new temp sensors and went through all 10 of them. Had 2 known working sensors connected to the ESP and then rotated 10 of my new sensors (with at least 4 known bad sensors) and discovered something really odd, to me at least. Rotating the new sensors in just the lower chamber...

    Did you get this working @IDMaynard ?

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Is anyone else who's updated to the latest Beta release having trouble with sensing pulses from the flow meter? When I go to calibrate on 1.1.1-Beta.1, it's not reading pulses. In the other versions, a 0 shows up in the pulses box and counts when you get some flow going. In the 1.1.1-Beta.1...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Bad temp sensors. I bought a 5-pack on Amazon and 4 of them don't work. Thanks for the idea of swapping to a known working location - wouldn't have found it otherwise since I was just replacing bad sensor with another bad sensor.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I'm having trouble with one Temp Sensor - the Keg sensor. It's always reading -196.6F. It appears this false number is built-into the firmware to let you know there's trouble reading the value. I've tried a different DS18B20 and get the same results. Checking Voltage with a meter, I get +5v...

    Fermentrack Question

    Here are a couple links I found - not knowing the actual model of your device. These might help point you in the right direction. https://arris.secure.force.com/consumers/articles/General_FAQs/SBG6782-v8-4-x-IP-Address-Reserve-Setup/?l=en_US...

    Fermentrack Question

    What type of WiFi device do you use? What model? Or more specifically, what is running your DHCP server?

    Fermentrack Question

    Yes @day_trippr - that's correct. It's very easy to do in my Untangle Firewall appliance. I take the MAC address and assign it a "static" IP address at the DHCP server, not in the ESP8266. But I think the main issue is....why are the ESPs losing access to Fermentrack? Checking signal strength...

    Fermentrack Question

    I set up the static IPs through my DHCP server, not on the ESP8266. The screenshots above are just of Fermentrack powered up and talking to the controllers. I'm not using it to ferment/control anything now. Here's a screenshot after setting up a "test" beer

    Fermentrack Question

    Your upper right black box should show data if the ESP8266 is communicating with Fermentrack. It still says "Script starting up" - which means you might have to wait longer, or it's not communicating. Nothing will happen without that working first. Can you see your ESP8266s on your WiFi...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    While waiting for a fix in the firmware, is it possible to revert back to 1.0.0? Looking in Brewflasher app, I only 1.1.0 listed as an option for KegCop. Looking in Github, I don't see where to find the 1.0.0 version - but I definitely am not sure how to use GitHub.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Very late and appears to be off-topic, but replying to @clearwaterbrewer question in May: I built a HeaterMeter years ago for controlling temps on my Costco version of the Big Green Egg HeaterMeter Hardware v4.3.3, v4.3.4, v4.3.5, v4.3.6 and HeaterMeter 4.3 Hardware · CapnBry/HeaterMeter Wiki

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Almost done building my Keg Cop controller. Getting some more temp probes delivered today. I should have checked this before I started, but there isn't any additional relay control for a fan for cooling the tower is there? I'm currently using CraftbeerPi3 and have an actor set up to turn on the...
