    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    I'm not sure which version of TiltBridge I'm running...it was flashed probably a year+ ago with BrewFlasher if that gives you any indication. ^^screenshot of "About" Page in TiltBridge Web Application" I recreated my Google Sheets probably 8-10 months ago.

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    Hey everyone, I have a nit that's been bugging me for a long time, but wasn't motivated enough to look into a solution until now. I'm running an Orange Tilt->Tilt Repeater->TiltBridge->Google Sheets. As you can see in the screenshot, my date/time is always off by about a day and a half (In the...

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

    I've come across an interesting problem with my Onewire temperature sensors... I have two (2) Onewire temperature sensors hooked up my fermentrack system with the typical GND/5v/data wires combined on a wiring block to read beer and chamber temps. After doing some wire management in my project...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Just wanted to report back on an issue I was experiencing back in June. I was getting SainSmart relay failures on my cooling circuit (I'm running a True GDM-23 commercial fridge as my fermentation chamber). It was believed that the load on the circuit (when the fridge started up) was soldering...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    @LBussy Based on your suggestions I've revamped my wiring diagram and think I have things sorted. I have an active fermentation going at the moment, but when it's finished up I'll rewire everything and report back.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    @day_trippr the SSR that I have on hand is the InkBird SSR-40 DA I've added a few labels for clarification *Note that I swapped out the Leonardo for my Uno (I didn't realize I had my old setup pictured)*

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    From the sounds of it, it isn't the ideal situation. Based on what @day_trippr and @hinkensj suggested I may be able to drive the SSR (cold circuit only) directly from my Leonardo board...but my lack of electrical engineering knowledge is preventing me from understanding that option.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    Well, I'm open to ideas, but the problem that I'm trying to solve is that my cooling device (True GDM-23) has ruined two sain smart relays recently so it is assumed that the commercial refrigerator is overloading that circuit (at startup presumably). I'm using the SSR on the cold circuit...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    This is what I've sketched up, but based on your "NO points" comment I have a feeling it isn't correct. I assume that the "points" are the contacts on the relay?

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    @Thorrak have you updated the documentation anywhere that explains how to setup TiltBridge without the use of the proxy? I looked here Cloud Service Setup — TiltBridge documentation ,but it still lists the steps for using your proxy at tiltbridge.com.

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    @hinkensj Yeah, that's my ignorance of electronic components shining through :D I thought that the "SainSmart 2-Channel Relay Module" (pictured in my diagram) was an SSR? --- Agreed on the glass carboy...that would have been ugly. It's probably hard to see, but my "blow-off bucket" is frozen...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    @day_trippr The drawing is correct, I'm using a dual relay module (also the component that is failing). After posting the Ink Bird SSR solution and then reading @gromitdj 's post I see that if a "slave configuration" were used, I would need an AC-AC SSR (with higher amperage). Or if I just want...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    @day_trippr I think you and @gromitdj are probably correct. I'm no electrical engineer, but I assume when you say "slave" the higher amperage relay you mean wiring it "in-line" with SSR that is already in place for the cold side circuit? I have an extra ink bird SSR from my E-HERMS control...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    I've experienced two SSR failures over the last few months and thought I would reach out to the community for suggestions. (FYI- This setup has been running for years so the recent failures are baffling me.) The failure I'm experiencing is that the SSR is will "get stuck? / fail-closed?"...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    @Thorrak I don't recall what version I flashed. I looked but didn't see an obvious firmware version listed anywhere on the Tiltbridge web interface. Can I query the device in any way to see the firmware version?

    @Thorrak When you say "beta"...which are you referring to? or am I looking in the wrong place?

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    I just took a look at my setup and immediately figured out where I made my mistake. I didn't specify the full URL of my Fermentrack instance in my Tiltbridge settings...I only had the IP address of the Fermentrack instance (in my case 192.168.2.233). I added the "/tiltbridge" (and added the...

    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    @mwayne112 Did you ever get this sorted? I'm having the exact same issue...my Tiltbridge is communicating on my network (I can hit the web interface) and it is bound to my Fermentrack instance, but it doesn't seem to be able to pass temp/gravity readings to the Fermentrack.
