DEPRECATED: BrewBlox Service for the iSpindel Hydrometer

BrewBlox is supported directly by iSpindel since version 6.5.1. This deprecates the need of this BrewBlox service which is no longer supported.

Here is the new way to configure your iSpindel to report to BrewBlox:

1. Make sure your docker-compose.yml exposes MQTT port (default is 1883).

2. Make sure you are using a firmware version >= 6.5.1 on your iSpindel

3. Start your iSpindel in AP mode and configure the BrewBlox access:

   • Server Address: name or IP of Brewblox/MQTT broker
   • Server Port: MQTT port which is 1883 by default
   • Path / URI: must be set to brewcast/history which is the topic for the history service
   • Username and Password: empty for now, MQTT authentication is not yet supported on Brewblox side

Once the iSpindel has sent some data, you should see its metrics when configuring the widget:
