If you have or want to use Raspberry Pi:

The phone app only sends when you are within Bluetooth range of the Tilt in your fermenter. The Tilt communicates over bluetooth to save battery so you can use a Raspberry Pi to communicate with the Tilt and send the data over WiFi to BrewersFriend. Once you have a raspberry pi, here are some steps to set this up.

Download the Tilt Pi image

Download Etcher to burn the image to a micro sd card

Insert the micro sd card and plug in your raspberry pi with a keyboard and monitor to setup WiFi.

After it's connected to your WiFi, plug it in near your fermenter and open http://tiltpi.local:1880/ui

Under Logging > Cloud Settings, paste the Cloud URL from your brew session and hit enter to save it.

The Tilt Pi defaults to sending data every 5 minutes and will now send the gravity and temperature of your fermentation to BrewersFriend.

To test it right away, you can enter a comment and hit enter to send.

My tilts are in the mail and should be arriving any day now. Cant wait to get them up and going. I was originally going to use brew status but I'm happy to see brewers friend integrating them because I already use and love it. So one less thing to learn and pay for. lol

I think I'm paid up through march. I'm not to worried about it though. It's not expensive to begin with.
