    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    Move the chamber sensor right under the fridge element so it's in the cold air draft and see if the cycling stops. Mine cycles a bit at the start but sorts itself out. Upgrade for heat/cool logs on graph too Thermowell is good advice.

    BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

    I notice after the http is non-responsive or fails to load there is an R with alt text resume on the bottom to mark an event.

    @pocketmon Have you looked into esp-32's yet? I've moved one of my brewpi+wifi's over to brewpiless and the resumes/lcd panel not updating is a very mild annoyance. Also more gpio's would help with the rotary encoder issue.

    I'm ditching my esp-link/brewpi setup for brewpiless now that it has data logging without a server. There is no benefit in this solution over what brewpiless offers any more that I can see.

    I don't have any issues after a reconnection. Do you have port and altport both set to the same address in /home/brewpi/settings/config.cfg ? I lose the device settings after a power outage, spotted this...

    Ah yes, I'd never used that pin personally but it looks like it should be ok. Do you get any packet loss if you ping it for a few minutes? Other thing you could do is power the esp on your programmer board and ping it for some time to see if the power source makes a difference. It'll be...

    Looks like you are powering the lm117 on the shield via the 5v pin on the arduino? This won't provide enough current as it's already going through a voltage regulator on the arduino and will cause the wifi to drop out. I run another cable from the power source to the voltage reg on the shield...

    You need to change the baud rate in the esp web console to 115200 to flash, and have the reset pin wired and confiugred on the esp web page.

    I just updated my image to use your one line patch / head of legacy branch and it passes all the basic tests for me too.

    I don't think so, do you see the temp in the maint panel when you detect devices? Do you see the communication for the device changes you make in the log file? The last temp sensors I purchased, one of them reports 85c until it's had power for a minute, it's quite odd as none of the others...

    The container exits when run for me built from the dockerfile and I'm not sure why as I've only made one myself, but I installed a jessie vm using your config. I only had to remove servername from the nginx settings, you don't need that in a container as you want it to be portable. Otherwise...

    Nice work :) nginx was also on my list of things to do. It would be debian jessies py version as it installs 2.7 on ubuntu 14. I check out the 3.8.0 tag so the patches will work if it changes. I choose that uid/guid as it matches the nobody user on my unraid nas where I run my containers...

    With the sum of the parts and time spent to make an esp shield I think it's great value. Proto shield, 3.3v reg/caps/pin headers, esp8266, ttl logic would be > $10 inparts then to put it together and debug it. I also like how it has the full esp breakout, it takes most of the effort out of the...

    I just built a second arduino, same as my other but with an esp-12. Must say the esp-01 is easier with the simple pin header, less fiddling around, but ultimatly the same result. I used esp-link 2.1.7 this time. Also managed to program brewpi-avr over wifi. Then just another instance of the...

    Yep, in a nutshell make sure you run it with the 2 configuration items -e AVR=theip:port -e TZ=Australia/Brisbane as you might see I overwrite those lines in the config file and TZ in the cron when it's run. I should probably check to see if they are set first before overwriting them. I'm...

    I see you could easily run it on a synology nas too; http://blog.pavelsklenar.com/how-to-install-and-use-docker-on-synology/ I'm still figuring it all out myself, but if anyone wants to use it feel free to PM for any assistance getting started.

    Yep, the Dockerfile is a set of instructions to create a docker image, which is a fully self contained "os" image. You build that Dockerfile using docker, you cant run that script any other way. I'm running it on my unraid nas, after all using wifi is so you dont have to waste good money on a...

    Yes. I wired the relevant pin and used the web console to change the baudrate to 115200 first. Also note the correct pin assignment in esp-link, mine is esp-01(AVR): reset:gpio0 isp:n/a conn_led:gpio2 ser_led:n/a swap_uart:no In my history it seems I used this command avrdude -DV...
