You could have a script running (I have a background "housekeeping" thing that watches stuff like that) which has an internal variable. It looks for a change in state of either switch from true to false, or the other way. When it sees a change, it flips both to be the same value. maybe...

Here is some more information to follow up on the Wyze plugs: Looking from the bottom of the board, these are the pins that are available to connect to. Looks like all that you could hope for. GPIO12 is the relay control, and GPIO5 is the LED indicator. If you want to use GPIO5 for...

I'm just trying to give back to the community :). I have confirmed that the AD is available and works. I'm going to go through the rest of the pins tonight and map it out. I'll report back with more information.

I thought I would share my latest hack that might be useful to someone else out there. I saw some of the Wyze plugs at home depot ($10/each, 9 if you buy it online and pick it up) and got one working in Brucontrol. These are 8266 based, similar to the Sonoff ones. Below is what I did to get...

Cool Keg washer! That might have to get added to the (endless) list of things I want to make with it.

I do almost the same thing in several places, just using a button instead of a switch (not sure why that would matter). What is in the ScrReset script? It doesn't modify "Switch 1" does it? One thing that all of mine have is a small delay after starting the desired script before shutting off...

I see stuff like this a lot, but I have ale fermentations that finish in 2 days fairly commonly. Especially with lower gravity beers (1.035-1.045), if fermentation takes more than 48 hours something is wrong. The Milds and Scottish ales down at 1.035 are often done at 36 hours. In any case, I...

Also, when you are in the middle of a brew day and things go wrong, you will have a much clearer understanding of what is going on in the scripts and how to fix them on the fly, when time really matters.

I have two power supplies, a 12V and a 5V. 12V 1.68A: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DECZVY6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 5V 3A: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T6RBSO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The 5V has maybe 12 relays, the Mega +...

A liter is a lot. I usually pull maybe 50mL from my main batch and then either stir plate or just swish it now and then. I let that finish out and see what the finishing Brix reading is in the refractometer, then transfer when the main batch is ~1 Brix above that terminal value. No...

Something in this block of code is wrong, and I get an unmatched "end" in my script. If I comment out the "[underlet_flow_loop]" I don't get the unmatched end problem. It isn't clear to me why this would be a problem. if "Xfer to MT" State == True "Xfer to MT" State = False //reset...

For future versions, have you guys thought about a having a way to clear historical data (like clearing a graph that has some garbage on it from when I was messing with the calibration math)? One other thing that I was wondering is if there could be a way to say whether to log data for...

I do all closed transfers and I don't weigh anything. I just fill the keg into the OUT post with a tube on the gas post (on the QD) into a mason jar until beer comes out of the gas post. Then I disconnect everything and wait for a couple hours. Then I put a picnic tap on and drain off a pint...

I would guess that it will be higher. Did you do a fast ferment test to see what the expected FG was going to be? You only need 3 or 4 points of gravity to fully carbonate, so if you still had 8 or 10 to go you will have a lot of extra CO2 to blow off. Did you clean the spunding valve after...

It's pretty common to have the pressure drop as the head space pressure diffuses into the beer a bit, but as the yeast produce CO2 you will get pressure building. The initial pressure is important to seal the lid. When you transferred, you knocked a bunch of CO2 out of solution. Due to this...

Are you running the latest firmware on the 8266? I had some problems with connectivity a couple versions back, and would have to reboot it for that but I haven't had any issues with the three of them I'm running since I upgraded the FW on them. You said it is plugged into the BC laptop, is it...

You can very slowly walk it down in pressure until you get to what you need. One problem that you might have is that the stuff that sprayed out of the valve (yes?) will cause the seat of the thing to stick and you won't get a smooth start to the gas release. I would suggest just using the PRV...

Somehow that escaped me when I was trolling through the manual trying to figure out what I was missing. I knew it had to be simple. Thanks!

I have an inspector that I'm using to display the Total of a counter. I have a script that runs in the background that does a bunch of housekeeping stuff, and I just added two variables to that to reference with an inspector. new value BKFlowTotal new value MTFlowTotal BKFlowTotal = BK_Flow...

Some people use these and just loop some stainless wire through it. They are widely available. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Float-Switch-Ball-Stainless-Steel-Silver-Tone-Outside-Diameter-52mm/202603616267?hash=item2f2c1dd80b:g:F4QAAOSwqCJcbkxo
