Plaato

Brewfather integration for Plaato Airlock and Plaato Keg devices (discontinued hardware).

Plaato has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Brewfather still supports Plaato Airlock and Plaato Keg, and existing Plaato data in your batches remains accessible.

For Plaato Airlock, the recommended replacement for the original Plaato app/cloud flow is open-plaato-keg. See the Airlock guide for the current Brewfather setup flow.

At the moment, Brewfather only supports Plaato Airlock through the open-plaato-keg workflow. We are looking into adding Plaato Keg support through open-plaato-keg as well.

Plaato produced two brewing devices that integrate with Brewfather:

• Plaato Airlock -- A smart airlock that tracks fermentation activity by measuring CO2 bubbles, temperature, and estimated gravity. After Plaato discontinued the original service, the recommended workflow is to route the Airlock through open-plaato-keg and then forward it to Brewfather.

• Plaato Keg -- A smart keg management device that tracks remaining volume, temperature, and other keg status data. Configured via auth keys on the Devices page in Brewfather.

Both Plaato integrations are available from Settings > Power-ups. Since Plaato hardware has been discontinued, setup and long-term support depend on third-party replacements such as open-plaato-keg.

What is open-plaato-keg?

open-plaato-keg is a reverse-engineered replacement for the original Plaato cloud service. It lets you keep using Plaato hardware locally after the Plaato cloud shutdown by routing device data through your own server instead of the Plaato app backend.

According to the upstream project, it supports:

• Plaato Keg

• Plaato Airlock

• Generic airlocks that can POST to its API

• An Android companion app

It can then expose that data through its own web UI and forward it to other systems, including Brewfather.

For Brewfather specifically, the current open-plaato-keg workflow on these docs only covers Plaato Airlock. Plaato Keg support through open-plaato-keg is something we are currently looking into.
