    TiltBridge - Tilt-to-WiFi Device for Tilt Hydrometer

    I sleuthed out a possible bug (?). Every few days, I lose connection between the TiltBridge (running v2.0.0-beta1[next] (01b68ef) on an ESP32) and Brewfather. It seems that the TiltBridge "forgets" the API key for Brewfather and shows as blank on the API entry screen when the condition occurs...

    Mill motorization

    Re-purposed an old KitchenAid using the spindle from a broken pasta attachment and a coupler. 8 speed on the KitchenAid delivers 180 rpm consistently with tons of torque.

    Grainfather Counterflow Chiller

    I have both as well and recently switched back to a 15" high IC (with no wires between the coils). Although the CFC cools a little bit faster (but not much really), I was always annoyed by the bits of debris that would come out at the beginning of each use even with anal cleaning procedures...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Hmmm, disconnected again (reboot brought it back). Do you think it could be because I started this brew monitoring with BPR interface (which is still running) and moved over to FT2S midstream? Two feature requests - if possible, it would be good to show the name of the beer profile you are...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Do I need to do anything to 'turnoff' the BPR web interface? Was concerned if I use Lee's: sudo systemctl stop brewpi sudo systemctl disable brewpi that it would shut the whole thing down.

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Our posts (edited mine) crossed in the ether. Rebooting worked. So, to your above, I should stop using the BPR web interface and only use FT2, correct? Are there any feature deltas between the two I need to consider?

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Funny you should mention that. When I got up this morning, I saw the following on the controller detail page: I followed your guidance above and the installer noted some updates to components, however, I was still getting the message above after reloading the page. Rebooting the whole...

    Issuing the above commands, running the FT2 config for devices, and then reenabling/restarting BPR worked. Thanks guys for the help!

    Sorry, being dense, how do I delete the controller from BPR (I didn't see anything in the interface or in the BPR docs other than resetController)?

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Got it. So if I just stop the current brew in BPR (just pitched yesterday, so not an issue), reboot BPR just in case, and then run the configurator, it should work or do I need to do something else?

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Hmmm, configuring does not seem to be working right (do I need to literally connect the Arduino to my computer over serial versus doing it over WiFi?). I was able to configure the Fermentrack.net connection, I then tried to configure the device remotely and got this first question, not sure...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    I installed the 'Fermentrack 2 Arduino (Serial) Support' following this page on your site. However, when I run the installer, it fails when installing the Serial to Fermentrack wheel file into virtualenv. Is there a permissions issue I need to consider? When I re-run the installer, it keeps...

    I ended up reverting back to BPR with Arduino and RPi as I brewed today and needed the control :) . I'll wait for the bridge you are working on to get remote capability

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Hmmm. Here's a read back of my connections, please see if you see something wrong in the transplant: ESP32 pin 25 - Heat (was Arduino pin 6), connects to IN2 on relay pin 26 - Cool (was Arduino pin 5), connects to IN1 on relay pin 13 - connects to OneWire data (was Arduino pin A4) GND -...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    I moved forward on replacing my Arduino/RPi with the ESP32 and FT.net. For some reason, it is not seeing the OneWire temperature sensor. I re-checked all the connections and pinouts and don't see anything wrong. Also, I am getting 5V to the OneWire sensors and they are grounded. Could the 4.7k...

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    Awesome, I think that guidance will get me there, will take a deeper look tomorrow. Or, should I wait for the Arduino to FT.net work you're doing now given the remote capability is what I am truly after and already have the system running?

    Native ESP8266 BrewPi Firmware - WiFi BrewPi, no Arduino needed!

    @Thorrak, great project and thank you for all the work you have put into it! I currently am running a "traditional" headless BrewPi setup with Arduino and RPi interconnected. However, I really like the Fermentrack interface and ability to check-in/modify remotely. I assume I need to move the...

    MoreBeer is out of California?

    In my last few orders, it has been 6-10 days from KS to the Bay Area, regardless of when I order in the week. It seems like they only pick on Mondays and I get my order that Thursday. So when I order on a Wednesday or Thursday, I see no activity on my order until the following Monday. I stopped...
