The challenge you will have is that there's no "tunneling" or VPN available via the controller so that work will ned to be done to your network and/or devices within it other than the controller.
Yes, I run openVPN on the pi at home. Works great.@LBussy
I understand, will speak to my son about this as it's more his line of work, sounds like tunnelling or vpn type thing is needed.
But the bottom line is yes it's possible but do it by direct dial using a secure number rather than standing on the roof of your house and using a loudhailer.
Awesome tutorial mate thanks for doing this. Im going to tackle it tonight.It's been a while since I posted, I know a few people had mentioned that PlatformIO was a bit of a pain to set up. I thought I'd try to help out and write up a tutorial on how to get it running in case people were still struggling. In case this helps anyone: How to setup BrewPiLess using PlatformIO
I found the documentation, specifically about how to get PlatformIO to select the right com/serial port was lacking. I think this might be what holds a lot of people back who don't have much experience with the command line.
Hope it's helpful!
Cheers mate.From the vitotai site
- Power supply to ESP8266. (I use a USB adapter) 1.5+A is recommended.
Interesting that you say it could be power supply related. I brought a cheap 5v power supply on ebay from China awhile back and didnt use it on my fermentrack brew controllers. I ended up using it in this build though. ill get another power supply and see how it goes.Purely taking a guess but could be a power supply issue? Just about to build my brewpiless temp controller taken so long to get the parts.
So whats the fix? Re route the display wires? My fermentrack temp controllers refresh every so often and I assume thats why.Screen scrambling is part of the joy of using those displays. I rarely get them, but my case routes the display lines far away from any others.
The other BrewPi-based firmware projects use a periodic screen reset because sometimes this just happens.
They are hanging free, they run from the board to the display and arent bunched with any other wires. So this is just a display issue and wont affect my temperature settings at all then? With the other issues Im having with my brewpi/fermntrack controllers this seems to be the most reliable at the moment.Yep, I stole that idea from @Thorrak. You can try to re-route them, or just leave them hanging free for a bit to see if it helps. If it does you know that’s it. If not, raise an issue on GitHub and suggest he refresh the display.
Ahh yes of course..good point.. Thanks again mateI can’t say for sure, but you should be able to connect to it remotely and see if it has remembered your settings or not.
In the device page? That could be possible but would be nice with a button in the uiJust like the Cool or Heat controls, you could always invert or uninvert the pin setting for the Fan function to turn it on and off...
Cheers!
Thanks, didn't think of thatSo you're not asking so much if it's possible now but rather you are suggesting an enhancement. The best place to do that is probably the issues list.
Thanks, didn't know thatThe fan is controlled by the "core", original BrewPi Arduino code, and it will be turned on if and only if heating or cooling is active.
It's nice that you have all the source code, and so you can do whatever you like.
... he said ominously.
Not at this time.I can't quite workout if I can relay on to Brewspy the ferment info.
I had to hurry and reply before you fixed it.Sorry had fat finger and tabbed to post reply when editing my opening and you saw it pre the edit.

Any ideas / a worked example of what I should add to get this going please? I suspect the token data will be the downfall
