How to use Nautilis iSpindel WiFi Relay?

To turn on, use a Micro USB mobile phone charger that is declared exactly at 5V and a minimum of 700mA.

First change settings on the Ispindel management

Turn on your Ispindel and change the Configuration parts in the WiFi manager to:

SSID: nautilis-ispindel (If you have changed the AP SSID then enter the changed ssid here.)
PASS: nautilis-ispindel ssid password  (If you have changed the AP Password then enter the changed pass here. The relay comes with a piece of paper with your password written on it.)
iSpindel name: 1-enter_your_name[SG] //The first character of the name must be a number; for Brewfather add [SG] on the end, without spaces. A maximum of 16 characters may be in the name of iSpindel. Some special characters take up more space, so make that number smaller. If the name is too large, there is a possibility of periodic resetting of the device.
Service Type: HTTP
Token: leave blank! // If there is a space here, the device will not connect.
Server address: 192.168.4.1
Server port: 80
Path/URI: /gravity

Don’t forget on the calibration formula! Use the SG calibration table located at this link.

If you use 2 iSpindels:

All settings are the same as on the first iSpindel, except that the name of the second iSpindel must start with the number 2:
iSpindel name: 2-enter_your_name-[SG] // first digit and then name and finally [SG] for brewfather

Nautilis Controller management system

View and edit relay settings (no internet required)

To view and change the device settings, first connect to the WiFi network that the device transmits, which is usually: nautilis-ispindel. After connecting to the network, some devices automatically open the Internet browser, and some require you to open the Internet browser and go to the address: 192.168.4.1

After that, the Nautilis Controller managment home page opens where you can view and edit the following settings:

-Configuration (configuration of your WiFi network,Blynk and other services)

Leaving one of the fields blank will save it as blank. The current settings view is at the bottom of the page. After saving, the device needs to be physically restarted, or you can use the Nautilis Controller management and the Reboot menu to make the changes active.

AP SSID & PASSWORD

As of firmware version 6.3.1, it is possible to update and change the AP SSID and password. This means that if you change it you have to change it on the iSpindel settings as well. Now the WiFi network transmitted by the relay can have the name of your choice. Do not use special characters, spaces, or more than 16 characters in the network name. When using 2 or more relays, the WiFi network names must be different between them.

To set up the UbiDots service, you need:

1. Network name (watch out for your WiFi network – be case sensitive), 2. Network password (select your WiFi network password) 3. Select service type (check Ubidots); save these settings and go back – then a new field appears in which you enter the rest data, 4. TOKEN (your API token in your Ubidots STEM account)
Please change your iSpindel name so that it only includes letters, numbers, periods, hyphens or underscores. [] in the name is unaccepted for Ubidots.

Ubidots new device to send the temperature of the thermometer from the relay: The Ubidots service must be marked and stored on the relay. Then a new field appears in the relay settings: Custom Stream URI/TOKEN in which you need to paste the Ubidots Token. Select the sending interval in the Thermometer menu.

To set up a Brewfather service, you must:

1. Network name (watch out for your WiFi network – be case sensitive), 2. Network password 3. Select service type (select Brewfather); save these settings and go back – then a new field appears in which you enter the rest data, 4. PATH / URI (enter your personal PATH / URI )

Brewfather Custom Stream to send the temperature of the thermometer from the relay: The Brewfather service must be marked and stored on the relay. Then a new field appears in the relay settings: Custom Stream URI in which you need to paste the Brewfather URL for the Custom stream.

To set up a BrewSpy service, you need:

1. Network name (watch out for your WiFi network – be case sensitive), 2. Network password 3. Select service type (highlight BrewSpy), 4. TOKEN (your hydrometer token you use). BrewSpy service can use multiple hydrometers.  The limitation is relate; save these settings and go back – then a new field appears in which you enter the rest datad to iRelay. So 1 iRelay can send data for 2 iSpindels. All you need is to check Share iSpindel token in Brewspy settings menu & Nautilis relay will do the rest.

BrewSpy Custom Stream to send the temperature of the thermometer from the relay: The BrewSpy service must be marked and stored on the relay. Then a new field appears in the relay settings: Custom Stream URI in which you need to paste the BrewSpy token from setup menu.
You can select the temperature sending interval of 5 or 15 minutes

Unclaimed fields must be empty.

– In iSpindel settings, the interval must be set to at least 900 s (15min).

-The first time you connect to a service the name of your hydrometer is saved to the server and only then you can use it in the application. In the service, the calibration formula you are using must be specifically pasted.

Click the SUBMIT button and reboot the device.

To view data on the client, it is necessary to enter the topic: ap_ssid_of device/Temp for temperature (e.g. nautilis-ispindel/Temp), ap_ssid_of device/Pressure for pressure data (e.g. nautilis-ispindel/Pressure)
Since each device must have a different ap ssid, that is precisely the difference in the topic. Therefore, multiple identical devices can be used to send to MQTT
To view 1-iSpindel on the client, it is necessary to eneter the topic: ap_SSID_of_iRelay/I1 for first iSpindel (e.g. nautilis-ispindel/I1)
To view 2-iSpindel on the client, it is necessary to eneter the topic: ap_SSID_of_iRelay/I2 for second iSpindel (e.g. nautilis-ispindel/I2)

Quality of service (QoS): 1

Due to the fact that all data for iSpindel is sent as a JSON package, each iSpindel has its own topic, but it is necessary to make a special extract from JSON in the client. This is done by entering the data we want to display in the widget into the field intended for extraction: To display SG type: $.[0]iGravity To display the name of the spindle type: $.[0]iSpindel To display the temperature of the spindle type: $.[0].itemperature To display the battery voltage type: $.[0]iBatt To display angle type: $.[0]iAngle
For second iSpindel these settings are the same.

-Firmware Update Over-the-Air programming (OTA) is a wireless upgrade of the device firmware. Opening the menu will open you an upgrade page. You find the latest firmware on the device you connected to the website and upload the same to the system. when you get the notification Ok, the firmware has been successfully upgraded.

-Audio alarm – If necessary, it is possible to turn off / on the audible alarm

– Management (Selecting the number of available hydrometers, SG or Plato unit for each iSpindel, P to SG conversion, set high, low alarms and gravity alarm)

– Termomether In the thermometer settings you can switch the thermometer on and off and when it is on select the unit in steps C or steps F. You can also change the low or high temperature alarm here.

– Measured data

-Reboot – Opening this link will reboot the device.
