integration

The Tilt Pi {% term integration %} allows you to connect a Tilt Pi to Home Assistant to automatically discover Tilt Hydrometer devices.

The Tilt Pi is a Raspberry Pi-based device that can read data from Tilt Hydrometers and broadcast it over the network. The Tilt Pi can be used to monitor the fermentation of beer, wine, cider, and other beverages.

The benefit of the Tilt Pi is that it can be placed in a location with better reception than the Tilt Hydrometer itself, allowing for more reliable data collection.

{% note %} For instances where you only have a Tilt Hydrometer and not a Tilt Pi, consider using the Tilt Hydrometer integration. {% endnote %}

Prerequisites

  1. Have a Raspberry Pi with the Tilt Pi software installed.
  2. Have a Tilt Hydrometer in range of the Tilt Pi.
  3. Have the IP address or hostname of the Tilt Pi.

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %} {% configuration_basic %} Host: description: "The hostname or IP address of the Tilt Pi." Port: description: "The port of the Tilt Pi. The default port is 1880." {% endconfiguration_basic %}

Supported functionality

Entities

After adding the integration, you can add the Tilt Pi device to your Home Assistant. If the Tilt Pi was found and there are Tilt Hydrometers in its range, then entities will be created for each Tilt Hydrometer.

You may then use these entities in automations, scripts, dashboards, and other integrations.

Sensors

  • Tilt Hydrometer temperature

    • Description: Current temperature of the Tilt Hydrometer.
    • Entity name: tilt_<tilt-pi-color>_temperature

  • Tilt Hydrometer gravity

    • Description: Current specific gravity of the Tilt Hydrometer.
    • Entity name: tilt_<tilt-pi-color>_gravity

Data updates

The Tilt Pi integration {% term polling polls %} the Tilt Pi for data every 60 seconds. This interval is currently not configurable.

Supported devices

The following devices are known to be supported by the integration:

Removing the integration

This integration follows standard integration removal. No extra steps are required.
