No, the code still formats dates US style. I found the bit of code which performs the formatting but couldn't get it working with what is a simple fix. Will try again.

Nice one Rad. How many temp sensors have you rigged up ? Just for the fridge internals or one measuring beer temp too ?

It is legit and not an April's Fool. I've completed the survey.

Scratch that, it is working!

Hmmm, just uploaded Brewpiless to a NodeMCU board and nothing happens. A blue LED on the board comes on and stays on but no access point is started up.

I've not got any peripherals connected to the NodeMCU, perhaps it's barfing, expecting a display, temp probe etc ?

Raise it as an issue on Vito's github webpage, he may introduce a date format option.

How is it failing ? Can you compile the code but not upload it to the Nodemcu ? Or doesn't the code compile ? If you're having issues compiling it then check you have the right version of the Arduino IDE + the ESP8266 boards plugin. Instructions to setting up the Arduino IDE here https://github.com/...

I tried a pint of "bread beer" made my a London brewery before Christmas. It was a lovely pint with plenty of hop character.

Now that the Guildford Calor @ slyfield has stopped selling CO2 cylinders, I'm after an alternative source. Guildford put me on to a place in Woking but apparently they want £80 deposit + £30 for the gas which compared to the old Slyfield £18 all in price isn't too tempting. Anyone found a decent pl...

You tell Alexa to "find devices" and it pings out discovery messages on your local wifi network. The firmare on the Sonoff responds and tells Alexa that it's a wireless switch. You can then issue "Alexa, turn <device> on" type commands (you can change <device> to be anything you want as part of the ...

If you've got a Sonoff device then have a look here https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-MQTT-OTA-Arduino

Sounds like they don't know what they're doing (or whoever is doing the bottling doesn't).

For info, there is a BrewPi port to ESP8266, a device you can pick up for under a fiver. No Pi required.

I recently modified a Sodastream unit to connect up to a cornie gas-in disconnect via a run of beer line. Pretty easy to do and it could be converted back to being a Sodastream if necessary. Got the idea from a post on here a few years back but have only got round to making it

He has done great work with these beasts. Currently a brewpi replacement and and ardbir replacement.

I'm using a modified version of Vito's code, works well.
