I’ve hacked my fridge, installed 2 temperature sensors, fired up both the raspberry pi and the spark…both are connected to 2a power supplies and both are connected with a USB cable…
The temperature sensors are detected but I cannot install them by assigning a slot and assigning to Chamber device or Beer1 and hitting Apply.

If you want to see what a working set of devices looks like, refer to this screenshot. If you mimic my settings then maybe you will get a working config. In particular I notice that you don’t have a device slot set, and you don’t have the function set:
Yes I see…however my screen looks a little different…I don’t see the “Controller Pin / Onewire” label…and even when I assign a slot the Function options stays at “None”…and when I Apply everything gets reset back to Unassigned…
That’s the wifi checker script. To disable it, delete /etc/cron.d/brewpi, then run sudo /home/brewpi/utils/updateCron.sh, answer no to the wifi cron entry.
OK…I’ve solved this now by re-installing the RPi software from scratch.
but… I also had to perform these extas steps:
"…I re-ran “sudo ~/brewpi-tools/install.sh”
when it asked “what should be the path to your web directory for brewpi? [/var/www]:” I put /var/www/html
now, when i type the ip address of the raspberry into my browser, i can see the brewpi web interface!!!"
and also I set the heating/cooling output Pin type to “not inverted” - had to dig around for this info.
and finally…I had to confirm exactly where each input and output plug should live on the Spark…a diagram here would have been helpful…but apart from that it looks like it is heating and cooling when it should…
I’ve yet to plug the fridge in to see if it actually does cool when it should but…that’s for another day…
Glad to hear that
With Debian Jessie, the default web dir moved from /var/www/, to /var/www/html, we still have to update our installer to detect the version in use and suggest the right path accordingly.
Pins not inverted by default will change in next release. That’s a relic from the Arduino days when this was the right default.
After updating to BrewPi 0.4.2 I also had problems with installing and changing devices. I upgraded and updated everything, installed BrewPi again (and lost all data of previous brews ) but couldn’t save the changed device settings. After “Reset Core to Factory Defaults”, I was able to add and change devices and save. Just a hint if you have the same problem.
This may not be exactly what is being discussed here but I’m in some dire need of help. I do not have programming or coding experience. I have an IT guy assisting setting up and has done my SD card for me, installed everything, has my panel up and going, local host, endpoints, portainer and what not. Script is running but it’s not detecting devices. We previously used the same setup at our previous location but did a lot of the mama gems to of this remotely or via pc on same network. Now are starting fresh at this location and can not get the equipment/devices to show up. What are the steps to trouble shoot this or get them setup?
