Grainfather Community Android App not working

Post by gobuchul » Sat Mar 28, 2020 2:02 pm

Just getting my kit sorted for a lot of planned brews.

Updated the Grainfather connect app to the new Community one.

Does not work at all, get the start up screen and that's it.

Anyone had similar issues?

Any fixes?

I'd given up with the Grainfather Connect app some months ago following the infamous Summer "upgrade". I was brewing on Thursday and had readied the app to try it again 'cos they had made improvements (I think?), but the app was utterly unworkable - probably because this ongoing C. virus thing is crippling (mobile) communications with server some 12,000 miles away. So brew was performed entirely manually.

The Grainfather can be used manually without the Connect app, as anyone caught in the Summer "upgrade" fiasco knows. No automation of course, no timers, just manual set temperatures and manual turn on/off pump and element. Amazon Alexa still works! She did all the reminders.
