Frequently Asked Questions

LED Indicator Status

  1. Solid Light: Device is in WiFi Configuration Mode.
  2. Slow Blinking: Device is in Advanced Settings Mode.
  3. Single Blink: Device is activated and sending data.

Device Charging & Sleep

  1. Charging Status: When voltage >4.15V, the device considers itself charging.
  2. Sleep Trigger: When idle, the device enters sleep mode if placed upright (angle ≤15°).
  3. Work Mode Trigger: When immersed in liquid, the device enters work mode within 1 hour.

Device Shows Offline

  1. Check Work Mode: Ensure the device is in work mode.
  2. Check Battery Level: Ensure battery level >3.3V.
  3. Confirm WiFi settings are correct and unchanged.
  4. Check the platform's WiFi RSSI value to ensure signal strength is good (≤-70).
  5. Ensure there are no obstructions between the fermenter and router.
  6. Fermenter coils may block the signal; adjust the device position.

Poor WiFi RSSI

  1. Optimize Router Position: Place the router in the same room as the fermenter.
  2. Use Signal Amplifier: Install a WiFi signal amplifier on top of the fermenter.
  3. Mobile Hotspot Backup: Enable a mobile hotspot with the same name and password as in WiFi settings.

**Battery Maintenance**:

Specific Gravity/Temperature Errors

1. Data Update Delay:

  1. The device updates data every 900 seconds by default, not in real-time.
  2. It is recommended to receive data at least twice in a stable environment to judge accuracy.

2. Temperature Differences:

  1. The temperature controller may read the liquid temperature near the cooling pipe at the bottom of the fermenter, while the hydrometer reads the middle temperature.
  2. After fermentation starts, the liquid temperature becomes uniform, allowing comparison to determine errors.
