Monitor Your Homebrew Using InfluxDB Cloud, Telegraf and Raspberry Pi

Any homebrewer will tell you that fermentation temperature control is key to making quality beer! Having a system that keeps the temperature constant within a range is crucial, but monitoring it is just as critical; otherwise, how will you know if something has gone wrong?

In this talk, Luke Bond will describe his homebrew fermentation temperature monitoring setup, which uses a Raspberry Pi and webcam to gather temperature readings from a digital display. He uses Telegraf to send that data to InfluxDB Cloud where he can observe the temperature over time and set alerts. Luke will share the open-source code so you can start making better beer with InfluxDB!
