thanks for the comprehensive explanation, but to be honest, for my meager capabilities, TMI. I am nowhere near experienced enough to do 1/2 of what you suggested. I am just glad that can download from github and install the software or the updates. Maybe in the future, I can take some time to learn more or teach myself.
But thanks anyway for showing how, I am sure there are others who can use this immediately.
Stefan
I would also be interested in your process for the dial display and battery gauge. But wouldnât have a clue how to do what you described.
Nappy New Year Mr. Bowler,
Apologize that I have to inconvenience you during the holidays but I was trying to install your Tilt integration, finally, after receiving my Tilt this Christmas. I am really looking forward to getting this working, your changes to the standard BrewPi look really good. However, I am getting an error in one of the early steps in the read.me file in Github.
Then you need to enable python to query bluetooth without being root.
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f
which python)
Failed to set capabilities on file â/home/pi/whicâ (Invalid argument)
The value of the capability argument is not permitted for a file. Or the file is not as regular (non-symlink) file
I am a total Linux noob, so have no idea where to start on correcting this. Any help that you (or any other forum members) can provide would be much appreciated.
Stefan
Stupid me, I am obviously a noob. I used ordinary ticks instead of back ticks. So now the setcap worked. But how and where do I load the files in @sbowlerâs github? 
apt-get install is not right, do I use git clone or another kind of git command?
@sbowler Maybe something to add to your read me?
So I had my BrewPi all set up, added in the extra âsecurityâ features (to allow for Public/Private viewing) as well as hosting 2 web servers on my RaspPi. Below should be the steps to get you back up and brewing with the Tilt Hydrometer working.
cd /home/brewpi
sudo git clone https://github.com/sibowler/brewpi-brewometer.git
sudo apt-get install bluez python-bluez python-scipy python-numpy libcap2-bin
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f ``which python)`
python /brewpi-brewometer/tiltHydrometer-test/TiltHydrometerTest.py
cd brewpi-brewometer/brewpi-web/
cp index.php admin.php (this copy/pastes the index pages as the new admin page, due to Public/Admin setup; the goal is to replace the admin.php page [current] with this new page)
rm -r index.php (this deletes the index.php page from the Tilt additional code, so it wonât overwrite the current index.php page)
sudo cp -r * /var/www/html/BrewPi/ (This is because I am running 2 web servers and this is where BrewPi is at)
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/BrewPi/
cd /home/brewpi/brewpi-brewometer/brewpi-script/
sudo cp -r * /home/brewpi/
sudo chown -R brewpi:brewpi /home/brewpi
sudo shutdown -r
Thanks @lgbainbridge for your posting, it helped me get past my Linux noob block and get the files onto my PI (your line 2). I have also run lines 3,4 & 5. Unfortunately I do have a problem in 5, in that the test script does NOT see my Blue Tilt.
On the other hand, if I use hcitool lescan, the Tilt DOES show up. Anyone in the forum have any ideas on this issue, please (@sbowler?)
A very happy and brewy New year to all
Stefan
Glad it worked for youâŚIf you have a Public/Admin setup I figured out how to update that as well (will be updated in the steps above)âŚit is VERY simple. I will also include it in my overall file on my blog but this may help you in the future⌠I will validate the setup when my tilt arrives in 3 weeks.
@Richard_Crump I noticed in the first pic all Tilt Hydrometers are listed and in the following post only the active one is listed? I currently am waiting on mine to arrive and I am hoping that the legend is displaying this way because there isnât any data being collected and when one is hooked up it will only display that oneâŚcan you confirm this? If not any idea how to fix?
Once itâs all working ok and receiving the data. those extra ones disappear to leave only the active one(s) that are hooked up.
Thanks for the reply, I am not using a Pub;ic/Admin setup (yet?); for the moment I use Chrome Remote Desktop to access the BrewPi from outside the home network.
Stefan
Now to get my Tilt properly connected, if someone can point me in the right direction 
Is it correct that the âsudo setcapâŚâ command returns without a message? I am able to run the TiltHydrometerTest script without sudo, but could it be that it cannot access the Tilt because the setcap did not work correctly? Is there a way to check?
Stefan
So another step in âTeach Yourself Linuxâ. I used the -v parameter on the setcap command, and got âOKâ. So that is working.
Who of the erudite forum members can now help me determine why I can see the Tilt in the âlescanâ but not in Simonâs test script?
Stefan
Put my Tilt in a recent brew, so I can track the fermentation using my wifeâs iPhone (my own Android is too old and does not have BLE). But it would be great if I can get the BrewPi integration working. Still hoping that someone in the forum can come up with some good ideas for me to try. 
I think that I have to give up (or rebuild all of my BrewPi). I thought that, in spite of not connecting to the Tilt, what harm would it do to load @sbowlerâs version it will not show anything until I get the Tilt connection working. But it cannot do any harmâŚ
So I will have to restore my back up to use for now. And then maybe I will do a total rebuild 
Heh, that error is not very helpful.
The server returned âCould not connect to scriptâ or something similar, but when you try to parse that as JSON, youâll get âUnexpected token Câ.
Look in the log file to see why your script doesnât run.
Probably because I was running without my controller connected.
Unfortunately, when I run connected to the controller I do not have a local HDMI screen. Also, for some strange reason the WiFi network does not seem to connect so I cannot use Putty to view either, So I might have to take a screen off my monitor stand, take it to the basement as see exactly what is going on.
Thanks for the quick reply and the support. I WILL get this working
Stefan
Hi All,
Apologies for the lack of participation over the last week, have been away with family in the country with minimal access to internet. Iâve only just arrived back so will try and read through and reply later today for any issues that havenât been resolved (including your PM, @NottingHill).
Cheers,
Simon
