RAPT Pill - Help required

[Polcho]

I'm going around in circles with this RAPT Pill.

Does anybody use one?

I could do with being talked through starting it in a new brew.

I have the RAPT app - The Pill is registered - Underneath the name of it, it has five icons followed blue a 'play' type arrow.
Click the arrow it goes into 'start session' - Fill that out - Press save - Green message says its started.

Fine up until now.

Nothing - No data to display........

Does anybody know how do I get it to start?

Also, could these buttons get any smaller :-(

Use mine through the brewfather app. Attach device to session and wait.
It can take upto a few hours before it displays any numbers.

I have tried to connect with blue tooth, just direct, not through the Grainfather, no joy there either.

Apparently, the wifi connection isn't great through steel, so perhaps bluetooth would be better anyway.

In any event, it's omly been in a plastic bucket in the office next to me.

It just seems over complicated to be honest, I can't see why it can't find bluetooth.

It turns out that the RAPT Pill will only work with a compatible RAPT device (such as a RAPT Fermentation Chamber or a RAPT Temperature Controller).

Would be nice if that was clean in the first place!

However, after searching to see if it would work in conjunction with a Grainfather Conical fermenter, It will.

Sadly, no instructions, does anybody else know how to connect these things?

dont know if this helps?

Bit more googling , stats that from 2023 Grainfather update added support for PILL and you just add it within the software... Dont use it myself so cant verify,

Thanks everybody for the help.

After a full day and a half doing battle with the thing, it's sorted, yayyy.

What follows is the correct and fast way to set up the RAPT on the wifi and Connect it to the Grainfather, so it shows on the Grainfather, on the desktop computer and on the Phone:
