iSpindle Plotter IoT applicazione per Android descrizione
iSpindle Plotter
iSpindle Plotter is a self-hosted companion app for the iSpindel — an open-hardware floating hydrometer used by home brewers to track specific gravity through a fermentation. The app runs a small HTTP server on your phone that the iSpindel posts its readings to over your local Wi-Fi network, then stores, charts, and analyses those readings without ever sending your data to a third-party cloud service.
Pairing and configuration:
- Auto-pair flow that joins the iSpindels configuration access point, sets the phone as the HTTP target (Generic HTTP / selAPI=3), reads the devices existing cubic calibration polynomial off the firmware, and reconnects to your home network — without losing pre-existing fields like the calibration on subsequent saves.
- mDNS-style hostname discovery so the iSpindel can find your phone again after either devices IP changes.
- Pushed the apps own calibration polynomial back to the iSpindel when you re-calibrate.
Calibration:
- Fit cubic / quadratic / linear polynomials from your own sucrose-dilution measurements.
- Imports the iSpindels pre-installed factory calibration on first pairing.
- Setup guide with a sucrose-step-dilution recipe for 1.000–1.080 SG.
Plotting and analysis:
- Tilt angle, temperature, specific gravity, and battery voltage charts with a 24h / 7d / 30d / All time-window switcher.
- Potential-alcohol secondary axis on the SG chart.
- Robust phase classifier (Lag / Active / Slowing / Conditioning / Stuck / Cold crash) using a modified-Gompertz Levenberg-Marquardt fit (Zwietering et al. 1990), with fallback to an attenuation-prior when the data is too early to constrain the asymptote.
- Predicted final gravity overlaid on the chart with a tapering uncertainty band derived from short-time noise estimation and the calibration polynomials residual.
- Battery runway estimate: linear discharge fit projecting time-to-cutoff at the current sample rate.
- Trim-before-date-and-time to drop pre-fermentation noise; CSV export via the system file picker.
Privacy:
- No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party network connections.
- Data is held only on your phone and only sent to your iSpindels local IP for configuration writes.
- The apps HTTP server listens on the phones local network address only.
Hardware:
Built and tested with an MTB iSpindel PCB 4.0; should work with any iSpindel firmware that supports the Generic HTTP target.
