Syargey Kutsuk Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hello, I cannot finish my initial beerdroid setup. I'm trying to connect it to my wifi network but when I try to connect to wifi Beerdroid.02.01.02.0000.0xxx it asks for the password. I tried 8 last digits from that wifi name like 00000xxx and 0000.0xxx and brewart and whole 02010200000xxx but still cannot get it connected to it's wifi so I'm stocked. My router doesn't have wps. Need help. Already spent 2 hours trying all options I could find in the manual and internet. What do I do wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do I do wrong? https://community.brewart.com/search/?q=wifi&quick=1&search_in=titles Have a read of these threads. I found I had trouble conecting to my home wifi because it was too far away from the router so I just used my phone. In saying that, whilst it is lovely to have the unit connected to the internet, it isn't essential, I probably brewed for a year without it with no problems at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syargey Kutsuk Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 The issue is not with my router, the beerdroid is very close to the router. I cannot connect to the droid wifi to get it linked to the router, it asks for the password and I tried 8 last digits of the serial # but it says password incorrect so I cannot move to the next step linking to my wifi AP. Is any way to reset the droid or how to find the password? The unit is new so it's initial setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The password is the last 8 digits of the serial number including the hyphen. Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syargey Kutsuk Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Thank you Captain 3 Droids! I finally figured out. I should use HYPHEN instead of DOT between numbers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll find it on the app under “My Beerdroid” the last east version is P017.(if you have already put a brew going you can’t update until it is finished, but all will be ok) Cheers Edited December 27, 2020 by Captain 3 Droids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Green Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Enter beerdroid manual set up, connect too beerdroids wifi, ignore app. Open browser and enter the beerdroids IP address, found in setting on your wifi selection setting on mobile devices. Follow instructions in browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Sibenaler Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I’m trying to connect wifi to be able to use the mobile app on my mobile phone. but am having trouble connecting to the droid network? it does say I require a firmware’s update. But I think you cannot do this unless you are connected to the network. Is this correct? I have since put my first brew on manual with using the beerdroid. Hope it gos well. I placed a larger on, it has just changed over to ferment after 12 hours, is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the firmware update you can’t do this whilst brewing so you will have to wait until the brew is finished. You will need to be connected to the internet for this. On the droid screen is there a wifi symbol and world globe symbol? There probable isn’t but to connect I think you need to wait until the brew is finished as you need the screen to programme in the wifi connection. What modem are you using and are you using a pc? iPad? Have you read the download manual? https://brewart.com/101/wp-content/uploads/BrewArt-BeerDroid-Instruction-Manual-AU-.pdf Comprehensive set up page 32 - 30 minutes ago, Luke Sibenaler said: I placed a larger on, it has just changed over to ferment after 12 hours, is this correct? Yes this is correct. The manual mode will work as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpsTech Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Hello @Luke Sibenaler and welcome. I've read your posts and there are a some clues that your BeerDroid is already connected, the main one is that the only way the App can know your Droid's firmware requires an upgrade is the droid has connected to the BrewArt server and reported its firmware version, and then the App has retrieved this info from the server. If I am correct, then: the WIFI and Globe icons should both be visible on your Droid's front panel the app should be displaying the status of the Lager you manually started I think the confusion may be in you thinking that you need to connect to your Droid each time in the App, this is a one time thing to get your Droid onto your WIFI, after that, the Droid and and App communicate via the server not directly. Also as @Captain 3 Droids said, you won't be able to upgrade the firmware until the Droid has finished the current brew, this is important so please set yourself a reminder. Let us know what you find out and good luck with your lager. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMagoo Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) I had a lot of problems trying to connect my droid to Wi-Fi - it would have been an hour long affair. From what I can tell, modern security policies and "helpfulness" of operating systems (I tried on MacOS and Android) prevent connecting to the droid's network (option 1 or option 3 of the Wi-Fi setup section). I found success using option 2, the WPS method (I had WPS disabled on my router because it's a flawed protocol RE security, I enabled just to get the droid connected). This prevents the need for an intermediary device to do the setup - just the droid and the router. I've since had issues with the Wi-Fi, whenever the droid goes on an extended cooling session (dropping lager propagation to fermentation or dropping kegging to storage) it will lose the Wi-Fi connection. It won't recover the connection unless I manually switch the droid off and on again. Probably something to do with residual heat affecting the Wi-Fi board. No biggie.

It shouldn’t do that and sounds like a faulty wifi module. You should make contact with BrewArt Support for their assistance with this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thagomizer Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 iMagoo, This is a bit late - and hopefully, your wi-fi problem has been solved. However, I wonder if the distance from your router to your droid could be a problem. I had to employ a range extender to my wi-fi to reach my back yard for my bar-be-que grill temperature controller. It's not only distance, but also blocking materials in the path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG Droid Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 The key is not 'brewart' also the manual isn't up to date as it doesn't mention a securty key on this step. Can anyone help? I can't use the app as I'm not in AU. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Evans Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Hi all, Just had to connect mine up without WPS. Normally that’s how I’ve done it easy as. Trick is let’s say your serial number ends in. 1234-5678 You enter 234-5678 Job done. Hope it works for you 🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
