What a way to up my brewing game!

Thanks, BrunDog.

I misspoke - the water valves are baco electrical valves.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know about he electrical characteristics. Good to know! My question is what is an example of the power supply that will be needed- what do you power yours with?

BrunDog, I am in the process of adding solenoid water valves to my rig- I have six 12v dc ss valves to attach and want to add two proportional water valves you have for sale. I already have a 30A 12v dc power supply and a 5A 5v dc supply and they take up much room along with a 24v ac transformer...

Top notch brewing equipment!

Thanks so much for that. Yes, I would then need the MQTT broker and sonoff solution. The code looks easy enough. The pi would be running craftbrewpi and sending commands through the MQTT broker?

If I can add another question to this question... How would you connect reflashed sonoffs to a RPI or an expansion board like a tarragady that has only 8 inputs/outputs to get the total you need?

Lalo_uy, can you detail a little on your comments? l am unaware of http or mqtt actuators, or how they would work with the pi, or how a wifi switch would get me the number of outputs I need. These solutions are new to me as I am a microbiologist and not an engineer. I have flashed a couple of...

Thanks, all. I had a suspicion that there aren't enough pins unlike the mega. I am slightly familiar with MQTT. I'll look into your suggestions. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I see where my question may have been unclear. I have 4 one wire temp sensors, which I realize can be used off one pin because of each sensor having a unique serial number. My question is whether the pi has enough pins along with the software to control 13 or 14...

In post 1035 by ksullivan86, it is stated that there are not enough gpio pins. I have the same situation, where I need 13 or so for sensors, a flow meter, 2 pumps and electric valves (one proportional, one three way, six 2 way) and two honeywell gas valves. Can Craftbrewpi handle that number? It...

I was having trouble with understanding how to integrate the feather at 3.3v and putting 5v devices into the circuit by means of a voltage divider. As a result, I bought a Mega and a 12v power supply to accommodate the 5v devices I am adding such as a flow meter, and motorized valves. If the...

I like to think outside the box 'cause it's fun. Please help me with the script l posted for use with two pumps, two propane burners, and an lcd. Looking forward to v 1.1.

I should add that the script appears to need water level sensors which I also have but did not install until the feather is replaced with the Mega.

BrunDog, after a lot of work and trial and error, I have been successful in running Windows XP with .NET 4 on the limbo emulator for Android. It will work on QEMU too. I used XP because I knew it ran BruControl, with the plan to get this running with XP (with a lower memory footprint) on a...

Just about 62, started in '92, 10 gallons every other month.

B.A. in microbiology '81 doing federal law enforcement in USDA. All the brewers I know are mechanical or electrical engineers, but I taught a veterinarian how to brew...

I would like to add that I purposely built my rig to be mobile and it uses Brucontrol offline. My little TP-Link 703 router uses libreWRT and it is inconvenient to have to reconfigure within each month to keep the licence activated. I certainly do appreciate your efforts to change the activation...
