Home assistant to Brewfather intergration

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I’m trying to intergrate Brewfather with HA. What i’m trying to do is use sensor values from Home Assistant entities, to feed into the Brewfather cloud portal.

i have figured out I (probably) need to the Brefather custom stream method for importing HA data into Brewfather. And somehow combine that with a rest_command similar to below:

rest_command:
  rapt_pill:
    url: "http://log.brewfather.net/stream?id=xxxxxxxxx"
    payload:
      {
      "name": "xxxxxxxxxx", 
      "temp": "{{ states('sensor.pill_temperature')}}",
      "gravity": "{{ states('sensor.pill_specific_gravity')}}",
      "battery": "{{ states('sensor.pill__battery')}}"
      }

The above code doesn’t work, but i’d be super appreciative if someone could point me in the right direction

Cheers

I figured it out, for those who are looking for it, the following works when added to configuration.yaml

rest_command:
  rapt_pill:
    url: http://log.brewfather.net/stream?id=XXXXXXXXXXX
    method: POST
    headers:
      accept: "application/json, text/html"
      user-agent: 'Home Assistant'
    payload: '{"name": "homeassistant","temp": "{{states("sensor.rapt_pill_fc12_temperature")}}","temp_unit": "C","gravity": "{{states("sensor.rapt_pill_fc12_specific_gravity")}}","gravity_unit": "G","battery": "{{states("sensor.rapt_pill_fc12_battery")}}"}'
    content_type: 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
    verify_ssl: false

Cheers

Great find!
How long did it take for the device to show up in Brewfather? And how often does it update?
[EDIT] Found out it did not update automatically, you have to use the restful service :slight_smile:

Thanks! This was extremely useful. Turns out I was like lovekull76 and also wondered at first why the data was not sent to BrewFather… I just wrote a blog post to document the solution and explain the need to add an automation RAPT Pill and Home Assistant – Concept Fermentation Lab . I hope that could be useful to someone :slight_smile:
