Numpty iSpindel set up

[MikeW]

Please help.
Have bought an Ispindel as an Xmas present, finally got it talking!
Using Brewspy, am I correct in thinking that if I want graphical displays I have to purchase their upgrade?
At the moment I have data but nothing else, screen grab below. Is it me?
Is there a free app that will work or is it worth paying the subscription to Brewspy as I have got this far?
Note. I am not using a Grainfather.

I've not used Brewspy. There's a thread here with the different apps and the good/bad things about them.

Personally, I use ubidots.
On a browser, it looks like this

iPhone app looks like this (Android is pretty much the same)

As far as I know you need to assign the data to a recipe. Not sure about the website but on the app click the 3 lines top left of the screen. Click recipes then create one by clicking the green dot with the plus sign inside. Name your recipe, go back to the main screen and click assign recipe. Select the one you just created then once the iSpindel transmits more data it should appear in the graph. It'll look a bit weird to start with as there won't be much data to display but after a while it'll start to create the graph. I hope I've not missed anything out

Oh and you only need the upgrade if you want to run more than one iSpindel at a time

Thanks everyone, I tried the settings suggest by Soupdragon. As soon as I connected to the Ap/Webpage I had graph data from last night!
I was assuming that the data was live, Having set a trial time period to 10 secs, I was expecting to see movement. Coming out of the Ap and back in again brought all the fresh data with it.

Why don't these people write instructions for first time users, not assuming you know what their thinking

Will look at setting up Ubidots, that should take care of the rest of the day.

Cheers
