I used my TiltBridge for my last brew and it worked great! My only question is regarding the date and time reported to Google Sheets. It seemed to be off by 2 days and 2 hours? I can't seem to figure out how I did that... I assumed it simply used the time from the network/internet as it's been previously correct when using the Tilt app. Is this in the TiltBridge Master Sheet?
My apologies for having missed this before! Yes - it's in the script associated with the TiltBridge Master Sheet. The timestamp should be set by the script itself.
I need some help with a tilt bridge and fermentrack. The tiltbridge sees all three tilts I have, but it will not hook to the fermentrack. I have unistalled it and reinstalled it. I have changed the name of the tiltbridge. The Tiltbridge IP ends in 78, but fermentrack is looking for a different IP address and I do not know how to change the IP address that Fermentrack is looking for the tilt bridge at.
The screenshot you posted is a bug that I'm tracking in
this issue on GitHub. I have a fix for it pushed to the dev branch - please let me know after updating if you still get that error message. That said, I don't think the bugfix will do much for the
actual problem you're reporting. To understand the actual problem, it helps to know how Fermentrack handles a TiltBridge behind the scenes:
Under its hood, Fermentrack tracks Tilt Hydrometers separate from TiltBridge devices, and allows one TiltBridge to feed back data on one or more Tilt Hydrometers. Each Tilt Hydrometer has a number of configuration values - one of which is the connection type (either "Bluetooth" or "TiltBridge"). When the connection type of "TiltBridge" is set, then Fermentrack looks at another of the Tilt Hydrometer's configuration values to determine what TiltBridge to use. The bug you noted above occurs when a Tilt Hydrometer is set to a connection type of "TiltBridge" but doesn't then have a TiltBridge object linked to it.
The solution to this issue is pretty simple - link a TiltBridge to your Tilt - and can be accomplished in one of a number of ways.
Option 1 - Django Admin
- Click the "gear" icon in the upper right corner
- Click the "Django Admin Panel" button
- Choose "TiltBridge" in the lower left corner of the admin page
- A list of your TiltBridges should pop up.
- If there is a TiltBridge on the list: Make sure that the mDNS ID is set to "tiltbridge" (based on the picture you posted). If you need to change it, make sure you hit "save" afterwards
- If the list is empty: Click "Add TiltBridge" in the upper right corner. Set the mDNS ID to "tiltbridge" and set the name to whatever you like
- Click "Home" on the admin panel (in the upper right) to return to the main page
- Select "Tilt Configurations"
- You should see your Tilt listed. Click into it.
- Ensure that your tilt has "Connection Type" set to "TiltBridge"
- Select the appropriate TiltBridge device from the drop down menu
- Click "Save"
Option 2 - Delete the Tilt and start over
With the bugfix I posted above, this is now an option.
- Log in Fermentrack and view the dashboard for your Tilt Hydrometer
- On the dashboard screen, click your Tilt's name at the top, and choose "Manage Sensor"
- Select the options at the bottom of the screen and click "Uninstall Sensor"
- Set the Tilt back up from scratch. Ensure the TiltBridge is created at the appropriate step.
Hopefully, one of the above two solutions will work. If neither do, let me know, and we'll dig further.
