Looks interesting. I know others have discussed using this technique (counting co2 bubbles) before.

Looks interesting. My main worry is it seems to rely on a server in the cloud. If that ever goes away, you’ll potentially be left with an expensive airlock. This happened with the Beer Bug! Thats why I quite like the tilt. It just connects to your app/BrewPi by blutooth which is much less likely to disappear overnight.

I backed the project and read through it. As of my understanding they will be releasing an API with full access to all data. So you should be able to integrate it with a little programming effort.
