Update Log
10th March 2022
‘Reformat EEPROM’ function added to Reset dropdown on System Settings tab.
In the event that you are getting odd performance then you can clean up the EEPROM (memory) by executing this. It loads all of the settings into RAM, reformats the storage, then saves the settings back to EEPROM. It leaves all of your setting intact.
The ‘Factory Reset’ function operates in a similar way but erases ALL of your settings (including WiFi) and reboots the controller. After executing this you will need to set the device up from scratch by touching the dot/3 lines in the top right corner of the app.
18th Feb
Fixed notifications. Introduced remote EEPROM formatting.
You will need to register your email address for updates at the bottom of the system settings tab.
12th January 2022

11th November 2021
Update for MyBrewbuddy/repeater users.
4th November 2021
Significant work done on the Temperature probe assignment. If you are having difficulties registering new probes them make sure you get this.
13th October 2021
Our database supplier has fallen over. You may have erroneous update messages. If your software version is 4th October then you don’t have to do anything. Will update when resolved.
4th October 2021
Changed EEPROM file system libraries (old ones being deprecated). Fixed bug with display of estimated SG.
26th August 2021
Added extra lines to the Brewservice report to show if there was no internet connection at the time the controller tried to connect and send data.
25th August
Modified strength algorithm so that if strength is less than -85db then device doesn’t send/receive instructions – but carries on with it’s control locally.
20th August 2021
Added wifi connection strength warning. Very low wifi connection can result in erroneous messages being sent to the controller as packets are interrupted.
15th July 2021
Bug fix for profiles Attenuation % trigger.
New step/trigger. Switch step when temperature target reached.
28th June 2021
Bug fix for SG actual not showing on the series line.
24th June 2021
Bug fix for SG plot not showing on the series line.
21st June 2021
Bug fix for stand alone authentication web screen
3rd June 2021
Added attenuation (Target, % and actual) and ABV to charts.
Switched Ambient for Target in ‘tuning’ chart
Set up a ‘smoothing’ routine for Tilt data to avoid zero values screwing up charts.
27th May 2021
Added force save to Profile routine when ‘Run’ instruction is given.
24th May 2021
Bug fix for clearing profile data. If you are having trouble running a profile then try clearing the profile and reinputting.
23rd May 2021
Profile steps for SG and Attenuation % modified so that when target reached next step is instigated without waiting for time to finish
22nd May 2021
Profile Attenuation % bug fixed
20th May 2021
Support for Tilt Pro added
28th April 2021 .1
Missing break statement rectified which caused a crash after
input of Tilt temperature calibration.
28th April 2021
Added a ‘Tuning chart’ at the bottom of the charts tab. Shows the Beer and Ambient temperature for the designated fermenter with the plots shown in red (hot), blue (cold) and white (off) to enable you to better work out your hysteresis settings and minimise over/under shoot.
Fixed bugs in the probe assignment process.
Reduced the valid parameters for SG reporting to .995
Added functionality for multiple repeaters. Create a brewing
‘mesh’ and have multiple pressure and temperature sensors
12th March 2021
Added date/time field to system settings screen. Gets a real world time from a time server. Set your timezone by scrolling down to the very bottom of the system settings screen and touching the ‘clock’ icon in the bottom right. Select your timezone and return to the app. Future uses include reminders (for double hopping, adjuncts, racking etc).
1st March 2021
Added pressure alarm. Accessible in sensor tab. Put in PSI value and switch alarm on for notification to your phone when the pressure exceeds the set value. Useful if you haven’t set your pressure release valve properly.
Also, allowed the pressure sensor to record negative pressure (cold crash).
25th February 2021
Put a filter on SG returns to charts etc to stop erroneous, out of range reports.
24th February 2021
LED sequence changed. Video here: Youtube LED video
1. Two short flashes every 5 seconds. Device fully operations.
2. Solid white light – double reset press to reset wifi.
3. Continual short flashes. Controller is waiting to be connected to the application. MyBrewbot SSID established.
4. 3 flashes every 120 seconds. Controller not connected to the internet. Check router and internet connection
5. Solid light for 10 seconds, off for 10 seconds. Controller not connected to your router.
29th January 2021
Tilt ‘Assigned to’ functionality changed. Now has an ‘On’ and ‘Off’ mode. On is for a live Tilt reporting data – this reports data to the APP and keeps the Tilt alarm running. The ‘Off’ mode keeps the Tilt registered to the fermenter but does not report data or run alarms. Useful if you take the Tilt out of the ferment, switch it off and store it away. Delete works just as before and removes the tilt in its entirety.
20th January 2021
Bug fix to chart process
14th January 2021
If a software update is interrupted for any reason one or more variable storage files can get corrupted. This fix checks the files for corruption and replaces them with empty files.
12th January 2021
New chart process – allows user to define what data should be in each chart and from what source. So, if you want to show beer and ambient temperature for F1 and F2 on the same chart, you can. If you want the second chart to show just the Specific Gravity you can specify that.
See the ‘Help’ video on the settings tab for further information.
20th December 2020
Minor bug fixes for temperature collection
14th December 2020
Added move whole step forward/backward to profile options

13th December 2020
Bug fix for charts.
11th December 2020
Added new report for estimated SG variables
10th December 2020
Added a fermenter # selector to the system settings screen so that you can decide how many fermenters to present in the data, settings, profiles and sensors screens. EG if you just want to show 2 fermenters select 2 and the tabs on each page will reduce accordingly. Doesn’t affect Charts or Smartplugs.
