Now that I have made the Tappo, I think there are possibilities to display more than one fermenting batch... which could mean multiple iSpindels

So I have made a Tap List using the Brewfather API and a cyd details on YouTube Cheers Peter

Hello All, Please note that I have updated FermWatch to version 1.2 Added hostname, as having to read the chipid or remembering the IP was a pain, fixed pressure display from BPL now Bpressure Minor display formatting issues corrected. Display longer brew names up to 36 characters long without...

yes When you are in the Fermwatch AP and the login screen comes up fill in your SSID, password, Static IP details , authorisation key and other choices and hit save Don't use autocomplete for the network. Don't think cnnected means anything other than you are using the AP

Let's rule out the IP - I have made the static IP address default 192.168.1.22 suggest try this version https://github.com/Hwerow/FermWatch/blob/main/bin/8266-FW_1.2a.bin Beers will be in order here very shortly!

Right - firstly thank you as you appear to be the first one to actually build a Fermwatch. Secondly - my apologies as I left the wm.resetsettings uncommented out. Since you mentioned your problems I revisited what I perpetuated and have hopefully fixed a few other things as well! PS I could...

Working on testing a version 1.2. I should have commented out wm.reset settings at the very least! P

OK I will try to replicate the problem on my 8266FW and the Version 1.1 bin. So I have a complete picture, are you using an iSpindel and if so is it connected to BPL or to Brewfather.

Yes that is correct. Fermwatch has the TFT attached. The BPL uses MQTT to send information to FW. see diagram

Hi Sorry to hear about your troubles. I tested Fermwatch 1.1 on a D1 Mini 8266 and with BrewPiLess 4.1 running on an ESP32. Perhaps you could flash BPL with 4.1 and see if that makes a difference to the connectivity. Cheers Peter

FYI Just built a new iSpindel with a NC Reed switch - seems to work OK

Thanks for the tip - the reed switches will be arriving March hopefully Yes, Blue tape covers the temp sensor terminals - inherited iSpindel! Photos of my bodged temporary switch attached

Thanks I have tried the bypass and that seems to work and have also ordered a NC reed switch Cheers

So I had just completed calibration using GravityMon and found I had temperature sensor junk readings. So, I removed the battery from the just calibrated unit, see photo, put some tape in to cover the terminals and re-started the calibration by trying to get the board back to the same position...

@DuncB I plan to build a new iSpindel and use the gravitymon firmware in the same batch as my older iSpindel to see how it compares.

Hi I'm sorry it's not working for you. FermWatch is not designed to be a repeater it is just a display. Are you sure that you Base64 encoded your id etc? I am slowly working on another version using an ESP32 which hopefully will have more flexibility. I am currently using GravityMon as a...

Update - The new transducer has arrived and is working. Now calibrated and running in an extended test.

Yes, I have used BPL 4.1r4 with a D1 Mini and an ADS1115 to monitor pressure until - the unfortunate accident of attaching the gas out to the liquid out on my All Rounder and the transducer did not like the wort up it. I have just ordered a replacement transducer from AliExpress 12.26US $ 15%...

You could probably modify FermWatch to have the iSpindel reporting via BPL but you would lose the OG and Estimated FG, unless you were to create an entry perhaps by WiFiManager to enter those values. Cheers

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but the FermWatch project was inspired by @ZeSlammy FermWatch – Monitoring fermentation with Brewfather®, BrewPiLess and iSpindel or "No phone No worries!" How to Guide and software GitHub - Hwerow/FermWatch: Monitoring fermentation with...
