    No problem, thanks for confirming.

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    I'm successfully running on 4.1 but have this warning shown briefly when the page loads. I'm not using any gravity device, is it related and can I turn it off? Cheers

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    @DuncB Yep, I started with the STC1000 too, seems to be natural progression :D I still use an STC on my beer fridge. @pocketmon I thought it may have been the browser on my phone but it's the same on the PC. I've got more than 1 ESP8266 so I'm about to step back through the versions to see when...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Thanks for the reply. Follows what I've been reading on Git about the ESP32. I've just retired a Pi Zero W Fermentrack build as it's no longer supported, and with RPIs in very short supply I'm revisiting this project. I'll be more than happy to stick with an ESP8266. Maybe this is not an...

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Are you running the latest Brewpiless on that CH340? EDIT: Looks like I was getting confused with the D1 R2 Arduino on Git ! :agressive:

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    PSU is good, I'm using the official RPI PSU. Doing some more searching, I've been looking at the WROOM ESP32 as a step up from the D1 mini...

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

    The best visual I used for building on the bench was this:Schematic But using the Fermentrack pinouts for the ESP8266 here:Pinouts Then power the ESP8266 using micro USB. My build was just this, no shield or breakout board.

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    I've flashed the latest bin to a Wemos D1 Mini and quickly realised it wasn't playing nice. I then noticed on Git there is an issue open and that a board with a larger flash is recommended. So... what is the recommended board to use with the latest firmware? D1 Mini Pro or some other ESP32...

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

    @Thorrak there is another minor interface bug to report. I have gravity support disabled but when I change a setting on the settings page the gravity support defaults back to enabled. Actually the only way to disable gravity support it from within the 'full' Django settings page. Thanks!

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

    @phreaky I had this issue, disconnecting and reconnecting within the same second, and a new power supply sorted it. I think the sensors are a bit sensitive to a bad power supply. @Jerrydfl When you power up the ESP use your phone to scan for WiFi networks and you should see the ESP as a...

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

    I did try this 8A SSR board but couldn't get it to switch off after the ESP switched it on :-/ https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113592854365

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

    Tony, once you flash the ESP with the WiFi firmware it will act as an Access Point and broadcast a SSID. You need to connect to this SSID using a mobile phone (for example) and then enter your router WiFi credentials into the ESP. This will then disconnect your mobile phone from the ESP and the...

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

    Cheers, I must say after getting the LCD reset code in the right place I haven't had any more LCD screen scramble issues. This has lessened my haste to install the fancy screen (and I've got to make a bezel for it!). I've got a brew fermenting right now but my plan is to take Thorrak's latest...

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

    Wiring is very similar to Brewpiless. Just follow the pinouts here for Fermentrack: https://github.com/thorrak/brewpi-esp8266/blob/master/README.md Then use a usb cable from ESP to Pi if running in serial mode.

    @Thorrak Some weird bug with the new firmware running serial. I also did a Flash_Erase and reset EEPROM. Back on my firmware all is good :-/

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

    Made great progress with the Nextion screen. I've now got a good workflow I'm following which is allowing me to make changes quickly, switching between Photoshop, the Nextion GUI Editor and Visual Studio Code. I've still got a few BrewPi strings to pass to the screen, and also a smart...

    As if by magic... https://streamable.com/vr3hc Comms via serial and running from the Fermentrack/BrewPi firmware. When I get more time I hope to get it fully integrated. This is just a proof of concept.

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

    @Thorrak I've got the ESP talking to the Nextion via D4 and TX using a Hello World example. Im about to test outputting some brewpi LCD strings. 2 questions; Is it ok to use those pins in the ESP-brewpi firmware or are they reserved for something else? Is it possible to run the ESP with...
