# Fermentation Dashboard Upgrade
**Status:** Planning / Not started
**Location:** BREWERY
**Goal:** Make the existing fermentation display prettier
---
## Current State
- TILT Hydrometers → ESP32 Bridge → Brewery Home Assistant
- Existing fermentation dashboard in HA
- Fire Stick display in brewhouse
- **Pain point:** Current display isn't pretty enough
---
## Options for Improvement
### Option 1: HA Native Dashboard (Simplest)
**Use HA's built-in Lovelace cards**
- Mushroom cards, Auto Entities, Mini Graph Card
- Custom themes (e.g., "Mushroom", "iOS Dark Mode")
- No extra services needed
**Pros:**
- Everything already in HA
- No InfluxDB/Grafana complexity
- Fast, responsive
**Cons:**
- Less customizable than Grafana
- Graph styling limited
---
### Option 2: HA + InfluxDB + Grafana (Prettiest)
**Pipe TILT data to Grafana for beautiful graphs**
```
TILT → ESP32 → HA → InfluxDB → Grafana → Fire Stick
```
**HA Add-ons available:**
- InfluxDB (official HA add-on)
- Grafana (official HA add-on)
**Pros:**
- Stunning visualizations
- Highly customizable
- Professional brewery monitoring look
**Cons:**
- More complexity (2 extra services)
- ~300-500MB RAM usage
- Need to configure data pipeline
---
### Option 3: Hybrid
**HA for controls, Grafana for display**
- Keep HA dashboard for interaction
- Grafana dashboard on Fire Stick (read-only, pretty graphs)
- Best of both worlds
---
## User Decisions (2026-04-04)
- **Current state:** Decent fermentation dashboard exists, wants it "prettier"
- **Architecture:** TILT → ESP32 Bridge → Brewery HA → Fire Stick (already working)
- **HA Access:** ✅ Token provided for PSB-server (100.126.129.57:8123)
- **Decision pending:** HA native cards vs. InfluxDB+Grafana add-ons
**Fermenters:** 4 total
## Data Discovery (2026-04-04)
**Active TILT Sensors:****
| Sensor | Temp (°F) | SG | Signal |
|--------|-----------|----|--------|
| Green TILT | 67.6 | 1.0384 | -82 |
| White TILT | 43.4 | 1.0155 | -74 |
| Pink TILT | Unavailable | Unavailable | Unavailable |
| Orange TILT | Unavailable | Unavailable | Unavailable |
**Other fermentation entities:**
- `switch.fermenterswitch` (unavailable)
- Power/energy sensors for fermenter switch
- Device trackers for SG trackers (likely backup monitoring)
**HA Components present:** ESPHome, ZHA (Zigbee), HACS, Node-RED, Frigate, WLED, IKEA Tradfri lighting
---
## TODO
- [ ] **WAITING:** User to share Brewery HA token
- [ ] Review current fermentation dashboard layout
- [ ] Assess: HA native upgrade sufficient, or need Grafana?
- [ ] If Grafana: Install HA add-ons (InfluxDB + Grafana), configure data flow
- [ ] Design new dashboard layout
- [ ] Configure Fire Stick kiosk mode (Fully Kiosk Browser or Chrome)
- [ ] Test + iterate
---
## Notes
- Brewery HA is separate from home HA
- Fire Stick already in brewhouse
- TILT data already flowing (no new sensors needed)
