For whatever reason, it does seem like there is some issue with the Pi Zero W and Pi2 using Stretch for Fermentrack. I couldn't get it to work. Loaded up Jesse and tried to install Fermentrack on the Zero W and no issues whatsoever.

Not sure what to tell you on that - That's what I did on mine and it picked it up pretty quick. I was going to ask if you're sure it didn't go to sleep or die, but I see you fired up your TiltPi and it retrieved it. I assume Bluetooth on the zero is enabled?

Oops.... I did that once with a Scottish Ale that I cold crashed to the temp that I usually crashed a cream ale at, not taking into account that the cream ale was like 5-5.5% or so and the Scottish ale was a tad under 3%... D'oh! Seemed fine after it thawed though, other than being a tad...

I can't speak to changing the colors, but I do know you can turn different values on and off so that they either do or don't appear on the chart (They'll still be logged, of course) by clicking on the 'chart' icon to the left of the label. The Tilt data gets into Fermentrack via Bluetooth...

But following that, wouldn't any similar load, such as your main fridge or maybe a chest freezer that happens to be on the same circuit (or maybe wouldn't have to be on the same circuit) have the same effect?

Dumb question: What would cooling or the compressor have to do with the display? The compressor (I'd assume in all cases) is activated using a relay, and the ESP is (I'd assume) powered by an external power supply, so I'm not sure how the compressor could have any effect on the display. Also...

Funny you should ask. If you recall Thorrak mentioning me and issues I've seen - here's what I found. I tried installing Fermentrack on a RPi1B, RPi1B+, RPi2 and RPi Zero W, all using the exact same Raspbian Strech Lite image... On a RPi1B, Fermentrack installed perfectly. At the end of the...

In looking around for options to log the Tilt, since it seems the TiltPi might be designed to be used with Google ONLY and doesn't have a WebUI on it (FAIL), I discovered this project. It looks like it's a simple python program that looks for Tilts and then forwards received Tilt data on to a...

Has anyone here set up a Tilt Pi for their Tilt Hydrometer? As part of my setting up a Fermentrack setup with a ESP8266 device to control my fermentation, I also got a Tilt and want to set up a Tilt Pi to record the data. I don't want to have the Fermentrack server with the fermenter, and even...

I think something's broken with flashing again. I tried to flash another ESP device for my mock/test 'rig' and no matter what combination of setting or booting it with or without the 'flash' button pressed I tried (I know these devices I have don't like QIO mode, so one of the other methods...

Cool - I'll be more patient next time I swap fermenter sensors :) And of course, if you have a fermeting chamber big enough for multiple vessels, you could monitor the temps of all of the vessels on one ESP8266, but of course each chamber would need its own controller. Only reason I can think...

Also, I got impatient (go figure lol) and wanted to test out the ESP8266 based Fermentrack. Since I'm waiting for my PCBs to be made and get to me, I pulled apart my old BrewPi setup on my fermentation chamber (converted upright frost free freezer) and wired up the ESP8266. So far it seems to be...

If you add or remove a onewire (DS18B20) sensor to/from the bus, is there a period of time in which it refreshes what's on the bus, or a way to manually scan and refresh (IE: adding or removing a fermenter)? Or is the only way to power cycle the ESP8266? While my chamber and room temp sensors...

I had a similar issue there too - If you haven't already, have it check for new firmware. There should be a few modes available. I'm not familiar with the D1, but In my case, the default 'NodeMCU (ESP-12E) returned the same problem with my Feather Huzzah. I had to use 'Non-NodeMCU (QIO Flash...

Look at my post 1405 - did you happen to see anything similar? What you're seeing seems very similar to the issues I had. What enses up fixing it for me was I re-ran './install.sh' from the fermentrack-tools directory, after which it started working.

From looking around, I'm assuming this is the tilt Hydrometer you're all referring to? I assume it's generally being logged to a RPi3 or RPi Zero W near the fermenter - If at all possible, I'd like to have my control elsewhere, ideally in some sort of VM. Would it be possible to set up a RPi...

It's the latest build (stretch). Yes, there is a '/home/fermentrack/venv' directory. inside the 'venv/bin' directory, there are 14 files - four variants starting with 'activate', two with 'easy_install', three with 'pip', four with 'python' and 'wheel'. On the BrewPi-ESP firmware, what is it...

I installed (or tried to) Fermentrack on a spare RPi2 using the automatic install (curl -L install.fermentrack.com | sudo bash) and it seemd to install fine, until the very end when it went to start - I got ' Starting Fermentrack supervisor: circusd...

VERY awesome! I will definitely be looking into this more! I have no particular 'loyalty' to BrewPi in particular, so if Fermentrack does the same things as BrewPi as far as fermentation is concerned as well as BrewPi does it (I have no reason to suspect it wouldn't), I would have no issue...

I'm a little late to the party, but I started playing with the ESP8266's for another project and stumbled across this. I apologize if this has been answered already, but 35 pages/1400 posts is a lot to wade through. In my current BrewPi setup for my fermenter, I have an arduino uno (Also had a...
