Hydrom (hydrom.io) integration with BrewPiless

[danestead]

Hi,

Trying to get my Hydrom (hydrom.io) wifi hydrometer, that is similar to the iSpindel, integrated with my BrewPiless. I've activated iSpindel in the Brewpiless settings and it is reporting temperature and tilt angle but it's not calculating a gravity.

Does anyone know what I need to do?

Thanks.

Update: I've been doing some research. I'm not super computer savvy when it comes to coding etc. so it's all a little confusing to me.

I think my Hydrom is sending the Plato reading to BrewPiless by using the /gravity URL specified in the iSpindel setup instructions for BrewPiless. I've read that Plato will be ignored. I think this is probably my problem.

In the Hydrom instructions (https://instruction.hydrom.io/readme/connect_to_mqtt) you can setup an MQTT publisher. It specifies various different values that it can transmit, including the /gravity value. There is a /tilt_SG parameter that transmits Specific Gravity, so I think I need to somehow get BrewPiless to recognise that.

Can someone help me get this setup? I'm able to edit the firmware in Visual Studio Code if that is what will be needed to get this working.

I've found a workaround. By letting BPL calculate the SG it all works.
