Home Assistant Keg Monitor System Part 1

[@paulv9286]

great video misperry, so looking forward to part 2.

Definitely looking forward to part 2. Great video and great project. Thanks for sharing

So looking forward to part 2 must be good 😊

when I try and review the log file over wifi as per 17:36 of the video but I get "HX711 is not ready for new measurements yet!" When I check the logs via the scale being plugged in to the RaspberryPi I can see the logs values

[@substandard649]

Brilliant! I was about to embark on a similar project to track my 47kg Propane bottles. Do you think the load cells can handle that much weight?

[@stefanre8129]

Nice video. I am going to put a monitor for my parcel box with a HX711 scale on ESPHome together. Great! Thanks

[@briank.totten8092]

Nice work on the print! I have a KOMOS 4-Keg system, so there is very little room at the keg base once all kegs are in place. So I am thinking about making a completely flat surface to fit the bottom of the kegerator and make 4 "zones" under it for each keg. Still a though in progress, but I want something that will not move, I can slide kegs in and out and not have to deal with separate keg platforms.

Perfect video. However what will i need if i want to use it with Sim module oppose to wifi?

This is gr8 will be printing some. i cant find any links to all the parts that i need to get it up and working ?? THANKS

Good morning, congratulations on your project. I saw that the sensors are inside the freezer, does the temperature of the freezer or temperature change, causes weight variation in the load sensors? what size variation do you have? I did a similar project, but with the load cells under the kegerator and despite the load cells being at room temperature, I have a variation of about 200 grams more during the day and 200 less during the night due to lower temperature environment, is there any solution for this?

[@misperry]

Hey there, I apologize for the late response. I have not seen a huge variation in it as of yet. I need to get part 2 out so I can show how I have built the calculations for measuring the fullness. But the way I am doing it has not produced a large error that would cause me to question. Plus I just need a ball park estimate of the fullness of the keg.

[@8BitLife69]

Just finished building this, but my logs show 0 even when I put something on the scale. Any ideas?

[@misperry]

make sure and check your wiring and ensure it is all wired up properly. Also double check your code. Are you getting the output in the logs but it is just saying 0? Make sure you have not entered the filter section the same as mine. it could throw things off. Good luck.

Nice video are you sharing the files for the stand so i can get it printed ;-)

[@shanebeasley8191]

Ohhhhh this is what I need to do

[@Mtbred]

This is awesome! Unfortunately a little too big for my poor Ender3 v2. It's times like these I wish I was better at modeling so I could feel confident to find a way to split these parts into 4ths and create some sort of method to connect them. Guess I could always just go for the epoxy/glue route.... I may have another project on my hands haha

[@floppyknockers]

I had the same issue with printer size. I created a remix on Thingiverse (sans the LEDs). All other components are the same. Happy printing :)

[@Haloking7000]

@@floppyknockers thanks so much for that remix printing right now

[@shanebeasley8191]

Would you not be better setting I up as litres/gallons In Esphome instead of lbs? so it tells you how much liquid is in there.

[@misperry]

yeah. you will see how I configure it in part 2, that I am still filling, I set it up as a % so that you don't have to worry about that at all. But yes you could set it up to convert the lb's into liters/gallons and I can show how in part 2.

[@shanebeasley8191]

@@misperry I had a feeling you may have ended up doing the conversion in home assistant instead of in esphome

[@JackForrest747]

Was part 2 ever released 😭

[@misperry]

I apologize but I am currently working on it. See my video update here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5XQZaCthd-Voas It should be soon.

[@mikekappasig]

this is awesome. was looking for a way to monitor how much food is left in my automated cat feeder, so i know when its low since its out of sight where the dog cant get it. ordering the HX711s now! have you made part 2? I coudnt find it on your page.

[@misperry]

I am in the process of making this. I apologize for my leave of absence but I am back in it now and I am ready to build it. Should be this week hopefully.

[@mikekappasig]

@@misperry looking forward to it! i was able to get my cat feeder monitors built and it works really well.

[@Videogame9559]

This is a very good video great stuff. Any chance you doing another magicmirror like nasa configuration file module any new smart module .please change your text white back ground black text .

[@janhpaulsenDK]

sorry i founde it
