    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Yes, it looks like all the configuration says during/following the crash.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing--perhaps some of both. It would surely be worth monitoring what's going on via a Telnet console, though, which I haven't as yet done, to at least see if Keg Cop's even trying to send these things (and what it's trying to send). Has uptime.csv...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Updating the tap 3 configuration (without changing anything) appears to have corrected the issue.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    It looks like it might be beneficial to set the Retain flag on the MQTT messages--a restart of Home Assistant loses all the tap values. "Updating" the HASS configuration restores three out of the four (curiously, it's 1, 2, and 4); I'm sure the fourth will come back in due course.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I'm reasonably familiar with Markdown, so that shouldn't be too difficult. And I think I already did a PR against your repo, to add the 6-way breakout board. But if I'd need to do anything special for the docs, I'd need some guidance there.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I can give it a try. Would that be a PR against the GitHub repo? If so, looks like I'd go into the docs/ directory and make a new subdirectory for homeassistant?

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    A little bit more refinement to the dashboard, now it looks like this: The trick is to use the "horizontal stack" card, which lets you put two (or more) cards side by side. To do this, when you're editing the dashboard, Click Add Card in the lower-right corner, and find Horizontal Stack...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I figured as much, but for some reason, only the first tap was showing for quite a while (i.e., overnight). In fact, I was just starting to post about that when I did another pour from the third tap (I'd already done two pours since I configured the HA target), and then they all showed up. I...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    In case someone else would like to get started with seeing the KegCop information in Home assistant, here are some notes on the process: Naturally, start with Home Assistant installed. I'm not sure if it will matter, but I'm using the "Home Assistant OS" installation method. I'm doing it in a...

    Too high of a pressure?

    Forgot to update the thread, thanks for the reminder. I don't know that my palate's all that refined, but the beer seems pretty good to me. It's been in the keg about 1.5 weeks, and tastes pretty much like what I was trying to clone, with no ill effects that I can notice.

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    Might it be possible to call it something else more generic? I mean, it wouldn't be the worst thing ever to have to update the card with the new entity whenever I changed a keg, but it'd be nicer yet to be able to keep the config unchanged. Though I'd then need to pick up the name somewhere...

    Keg Cop: Keg Monitoring and Control

    I have a lot to learn about Home Assistant, but even so I have this set up with a few minutes' effort: I'm wondering one thing, though: the entities for the volume remaining appear to be tied to the name of the beer--when I replace the Pale Ale with something else, I'm thinking that means its...

    Need advice brewing with well water and on a septic system

    Likewise in southern GA and on a well. Iron isn't especially high, but other minerals are, and there's enough sulfur that I can often smell it when I run the water. RO takes care of that. If I don't give the spent grains to friends with chickens, I toss them out on the ground and spread them...

    Beginner equipment setup

    At least in .us, the vast majority of homebrew kegging setups pump in CO2, which does nothing to degrade the beer. Air would of course be a different story.

    Beginner equipment setup

    Sounds like you're willing to spend quite a bit. If you haven't already, it would be worthwhile to brew a few batches on more modest equipment and make sure this is something you're going to enjoy--both the process and the result. But assuming that's the case... I've been using one of these...

    Too high of a pressure?

    Did that as soon as I caught it. Thanks.
