Brewpi on the Cheap

[Phil.cork]

Yeah electricity scares me a lot more than plumbing. I have ordered parts from AliExpress so they're coming in in drips and drabs. I haven't been able to find a clear sort of how to guide but I must read fully through this thread again.
Ordering through Ali Express means I probably have plenty of time before most parts arrive

I just messaged you on Whatsapp

Hi there,

If anybody has a wiring diagram showing the temp probe, wimos, relay and LCD screen wiring would they please post it. I have the Wimos and LCD sorted but am unsure about the wiring for the wimos, temp probes and the relays.

Lads all the diagrams wiring etc are on The brewpiless GitHub page. This is the most up to date and complete guide with the latest diagrams etc.

If you can't follow the instructions in this thread ( think I was fairly clear and complete) and from the brewpiless github page I would suggest that you give this project a miss as you will be playing with mains voltage

I read through it and it looked doable. I was just wondering of it actually was to someone without a ton of experience before I bought the parts. Thanks for the guide though looking forward to getting into it

If I did it anyone can , just read everything and be 100 percent sure you understand how it all goes together before you mess with mains power.

[Phil.cork]

Yeah plugging into mains looks to be the extreme last step

Somehow I.missed the wiring diagram so i apreciate iMark posting an up to date link as i do the efforts of others who contributed to this thread.

Did anyone here get this to work properly with an ispindel?

[Phil.cork]

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but mostly sorted now. Bpl working really well and ispindel working well with it. 1 last thing has anyone here managed to get it to log data to Ubidots? I can get it to connect  and generate a device but doesn't seem to be exporting any of the variables. I'm sure this is my own lack of knowledge but can't figure it out

[johnrm]

I got the iSpindel to communicate with Ubidots when I was playing with it last.
As I recall you need to set up an account with Ubidots, you then need to get a key which is keyed in to the interface on iSpindel.
Once in place it should send data to ubidots.

[Phil.cork]

I got the ispindel to link with ubidots fine but now have it reporting directly to the BPL so its all integrated. I think it would be cool to have a cloud log of the brew and BPL does allow it. It should directly post to ubidots again you input the token from Ubidots to the URL on the logging page. I can get it to communicate with ubidots but can't get it to export the variables (beer temp, gravity, tilt time etc). I'm sure it my lack of programming knowledge thats making it not work

[johnrm]

I didn't think the BPL was meant to communicate to ubidots.
That is something the iSpindel does.

[Phil.cork]

This is the page on the wiki which explains how to connect to ubidots. The top arrow points to the setup for thingspeak.com the bottom one is for ubidots. However for thingspeak you specify in the url which fields and variables you want to export (ie %b for beer temp) in the ubidots example it looks like the variables have been selected some other way as they are visible above the format box with I think the contents of the format box translating for ubidots. I can't get it to select which variables I want to export though
