BrewPi@ESP8266, no need of RPI and Arduino.

[pocketmon]

OK, I really give up now.

Could someone recommend me a new board so I can start from the beginning?
ESP32, the old one again, something else?

Thank you in advance.

How about this?

Let me share some experiences with you.

I once found on my test platform, an ESP32, dropped network every few hours. After trying for a week or two, I gave up and tried another ESP32, and the new one worked without any issue.

I don't remember exactly what happened, but I successfully recovered an ESP8266 or ESP32 by clearing its RF calibration data, which is not recommended by the manufacturer.

I am currently trying to upgrade new version of BLE library but stuck on strange exceptions of ESP32 which happened after one day or two. I don't have the source code of the assertions, so I don't really know what happened. It has stuck me for a few months. After trying the current version that run well for 2 brews, I suspect that it might be hardware related. I seemed to push the connector too hard once when I almost finished my second bottle of beer. Yet, I still haven't tried another new ESP32 because of the frustration.

I would suggest to stay what works for you. You are brewing beer, not testing the software or hardware like I do.

BrewpilessGX looks really great. I will try that and move to that thread, with questions.

I have my STC PRO WiFi for a backup, no worries.

I've found my brewpiless with version 4.4 software.

If you open system option using your password if needed.

Select the advanced option and you get this page of options.

Have a look at your settings and compare to mine.

I think the delay / interval is a bit too long, but mine has been working okay with these settings.
