MyBrewbot (discontinued)

MyBrewbot is discontinued, but existing hardware can connect to Brewfather with community-maintained OurBrewbot firmware.

MyBrewbot has been officially discontinued, and its original cloud service, app, and firmware update service are no longer available. The legacy MyBrewbot integration has therefore been removed from Brewfather.

Continue using the hardware with OurBrewbot

OurBrewbot is community-maintained replacement firmware for existing MyBrewbot ESP8266 controllers. It preserves the controller's local fermentation functions and sends readings to Brewfather through the Custom Stream integration.

OurBrewbot is an independent third-party project. It is not developed, maintained, or supported by Brewfather. Review the project's documentation and releases before installing it, and back up the controller's original firmware and settings before flashing.

Connect OurBrewbot to Brewfather

  1. Install and configure OurBrewbot by following the instructions in the OurBrewbot repository.

  2. In Brewfather, open Settings → Power-ups → Custom Stream and enable Custom Stream.

  3. Copy the Stream ID shown by Brewfather.

  4. Open the OurBrewbot local admin page and go to Reporting → Brewfather.

  5. Enable Brewfather reporting, enter the Stream ID, and save the settings. You can use the test option to verify the connection.

  6. Enable Brewfather reporting for each fermenter that should send readings.

Use the Custom Stream ID, not the old MyBrewbot Logging ID. Each enabled fermenter appears as a Custom Stream device in Brewfather after its first successful report. Attach the device to a batch from Batch → Fermentation → Readings → Devices.

Powered fermenters normally report every 15 minutes. For firmware installation, configuration details, troubleshooting, and current limitations, use the documentation in the OurBrewbot repository.
