    Amazon Echo Dot: What the heck to do with it?

    If you're technically inclined, you can use the Echo or Echo Dot to control ESP8266-controlled devices, ala a WeMo switch, or with a DS18B20 temperature sensor. Here's a link.

    BrewPi with Multiple Heated and Cooled Chambers

    Probably overkill for your situation, but my TeensyNet controller board can handle up to 48 devices / 16 fermentation chambers and uses a Linux front end (RPi, old computer, etc) for the graphical display, and communicates via hardwire or WiFi.. Also completely open source.

    OK, as I've mentioned before, my PythonFu is not strong ;) . It appears that the code you're using does indeed do an inquiry, which requires more power that simply intercepting the advertisement broadcasts. If you want to see how I do it, take a look at my github

    Are you reading the advertisements broadcasts, or are you using GATT to access the device?

    Hi again Jaybird. Any thoughts about this??:confused:

    Catalyst Fermentor Kickstarter

    Just assembled one of my two Catalysts, and it is EXACTLY 1/2" too long to fit into my fermentation chamber!!! :smack::smack::smack:

    Can it even be done? Measuring Specific Gravity using Arduino or Raspberry Pi

    Well, if you want to get started, here's the original Tilt/Brewometer code for the Light Blue Bean...:ban:

    Can it even be done? Measuring Specific Gravity using Arduino or Raspberry Pi

    Tilt Digital Hydrometer thread I've got some scripts at my github that use a Raspberry Pi instead of an iOS or Android device, and stores the result in a local database.

    Just be aware that the battery level is read from the "scratch" characteristics, which requires that the device connect to the Tilt, request the scratch value, read the scratch value, and completely shut down the connection to the Tilt. I suspect that my original code was disconnecting from the...

    TeensyPi Networked Temperature Controller

    The TeensyPi website will be going away by the end of the year (2016), as I am no longer developing nor supporting the device.

    I've posted updated code on my github.:ban: I've added a php program that's a little more convenient when attempting to locate the MAC address of the Tilt, and I've incorporated the abv data that rickbath asked about . I'm still working on the README file.

    I've had enough requests for the code that I'm going to post it to a github in the near future. You just need to be aware that I make no guarantees as to its usability, and am not responsible if it ruins your beer, melts your fermenter, sets fire to your house, etc. ;) I'll let everyone here...

    Create a new entry in the device table called "abv" using phpmyadmin. After each read of the adverts, get the original sg from the mySQL table with: select sg from device order by now asc limit 1; save that result to $ogStr then: $abvStr = ($ogStr - $sgstr) * 131.25 and then...

    The advertisement is generated by the Tilt code, and is not editable by us, the users. The general formula for determining ABV is ABV = (OG - FG) * 131.25 I'm not quite sure what you're looking for here...:confused: Once the Tilt is dropped into the wort, it runs continuously.

    The batStr was the battery value, it was a leftover from using gatttool, and is not available using the advertisement iBeacons. I've since deleted it from the code. Thanks for letting me know. :rockin: The name is not part of the advertisement iBeacon either. I just placed the name in the sql...

    Hi Jaybird, I've got your Ultimate Sanke Keg Fermenter Kit, and I also have a Brewer's Hardware American Sanke Keg Fermentor Kit with Thermowell. I like and use them both, but what I'd really like to have is a 2" TC cap with a 1" TC ferrule mounted off-centered, kind of like this, with a...
