BrewBench Monitor is a homebrew and brewery controller and fermentation monitor

BrewBench Monitor

http://monitor.brewbench.co

BrewBench is an Arduino brew monitor, controller and alert system for the homebrewers and pro brewers. It uses the Arduino REST API to interface with temp sensors.

RIMS

You can also connect a relay to the digital ports and add a heater / pump to create a RIMS system. The software will start/stop the heater/pump based on the target temperature you set.

Fermenters

BrewBench Monitor can easily be used on fermenters with a thermowell.

BrewBench works with many popular sensors, controllers, and Arduino boards.

Sensor	Thermistors	Temperature
Sensor	DS18B20	Temperature
Sensor	PT100	Temperature
Sensor	DHT11	Temperature / Humidity
Sensor	DHT12	Temperature / Humidity
Sensor	DHT22	Temperature / Humidity
Sensor	BMP280	Temperature / Pressure
Sensor	SEN-13322	Moisture
Controller	Ranco	Temperature
Controller	InkBird ITC-1000	Temperature
Board	ESP32	Monitor or App
Board	ESP8266	Monitor
Board	Yun Rev 2	Monitor

monitor's Issues

Add Support for Arduino Uno WiFi

Add a mobile menu

Collapse the nav on mobile, expand with a hamburger

Support PWM pins Duty Cycle for SSR Relays

Add a new sketch and % option in the UI then convert to values range 0-255

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/PWM
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/SecretsOfArduinoPWM

some sort of manual mode for the boil kettle like a % of heat since everyone from different elevations boil at different temps and just like the countless forum issues with pids, the fix for pids was a manual mode

call it duty cycle like turning the burner up or down so say you set your temp to 209 f which is what water it boils at here, instead if pulsing off and on it needs to stay on all the time but you can turn the power down to keep a rolling boil without losing too much for evaporation so to do that you would set a % of power like 80% and that would keep the boil going, never turn it off but only at 80% duty cycle, not sure about difference between gas burner and electric, I know you have a regulator but electric doesn’t

Move settings to a modal

Clean up the UI by moving the settings to a modal

Kettle layout options

Add options to layout kettles, one per line or multiple per line

problem reading bsmx files

i have an bsmx file that i cant import

"speycast red nose xmas ale"
SpeyCast Red Nose Xmas Ale.txt

please rename .txt to .bsxm

do i need to convert to other format?

//Daniel

Import Export Settings

Added the ability to import/export settings

Version: 2.6.5

the latest version I downloaded is not visible to any browser and will not load, you can get the source and it reads correct but will not print to the screen

Version: 2.6.5 Cool not firing on the website

on the fermenter kettle using auto the cool is not coming on when the temp rises too high, the warm keeps firing instead

Multiple Arduino support

Allow support for multiple arduinos, add an arduino option to each kettle

Ability to Delete a shared session

Allow deleting a shared session, could be an email sent to the shared creator.

Libraries for ESP32

Hello everyone, I am encountering a problem regarding the libraries to compile the arduino schetch on esp32.
Apparently the problem is in the arduino / esp libraries. Note the last verification error:

"In file included from C:\Users\Benn\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ESP8266WiFi\src/ESP8266WiFiSTA.h:29:0,

What can it be?
Were the libraries you used the patterns of the addresses below?

https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/tree/master/libraries
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries

If not, can you indicate the libraries so that I can compile?

Thanks

Is this project still alive?

I tried using this on ESP8266 nodemcu but facing multiple issues.

1. Unable to connect to the board post uploading the code.

2. I post my API key and connect to the BB monitor app in sketches but i am getting an error when i try to download the ESP sketch

3. When i run the server locally, the temp sensor works fine but the when i try to trigger the relays, i am getting an error.

Add user/pass login to InfluxDB

Add BeerXML Support

Allow importing recipes for BeerXML formats. BrewersFriend uses this.

Arduino REST Password

Add a password prompt for Arduino's that have a password set on the REST interface. Should prompt if an Unauthorized error is received when trying to connect and save the password encrypted to be used through out the requests.

Store temps in data store

Want to get a complete view of a brew session or fermentation session so store temps every 60 seconds in a time series database. Like InfluxDB...
