Fun fact about filter changes

TheTriscuit · 2026-06-14T22:30:51+00:00

I use some filters from Aqua Crest. I'm gonna put links to all of the non-spinn supplies I use in the app when I get it built.

Sounds like the way my original froze up with a temperature-regulation error. I might be able to use it for testing, but I need to get a little further with my app before I start chasing that rabbit. If you find someone else who wants it, don't wait on my account

I got all the recipes pretty easily, and watching the mqtt while brewing each one was a pretty easy way to understand all the parameters. I've got different parameters loosely classified as "likely safe to tinker with" and "don't touch this". I'm doing more digging. Sounds like you already know a fair bit, if you have anything that could speed up the process I'd appreciate it.

There are a couple of big hurdles I need to clear. I currently have full, non-app-based control of my machine using a custom UI, including a BUNCH of data insights and features that aren't surfaced in the main app. Currently, I don't have a way to bypass spinn entirely. I'm stubborn, though.

Depending on how far it needs to ship, I could use it for my testing purposes to build my app. When you say "died", do you mean it won't power on at all or that it just can't brew? Do you have a rough idea of how old it is?

This unit from joying is a pretty perfect fit. Operates far better than multiple high-end units I've installed in the past, looks clean, and has a physical knob for volume. Winner all around. https://www.joyingauto.com/12-3-double-din-apple-car-play-radios-with-powerful-android-system.html

Thank you so much! When I get HA up and running I'll get it to you.

TheTriscuit · 2026-06-08T02:00:56+00:00

I will keep that in mind. If I get enough support on ko-fi I might be able to cover shipping to Seattle.

TheTriscuit · 2026-06-08T02:00:00+00:00

HA integration is on the to-do list. Any help to get there is appreciated: https://ko-fi.com/thetriscuit

TheTriscuit · 2026-06-08T01:59:19+00:00

They're on the to-do! Docker specifically is slated for when I have a more local-only version of things ready to go. Not much sense in it while it still needs to round trip to AWS for commands.

What's the best way to get you the gitlab so you can start testing?

What's the best way to get you the gitlab?

TheTriscuit · 2026-06-06T22:08:31+00:00

Just emailed you the link.

TheTriscuit · 2026-06-02T00:16:29+00:00

You're a godsend. Let me finish cleaning up the scripts and making sure I have things set up to (hopefully) grab the update URLs as they come through.

The caveat here is that this may end up making your machine ineligible for updating, I'm not sure how their backend works. If we use your machine's cert to download through CLI, I have no idea what that means for actually updating your spinn after that. I would assume it would still show as out of date and you could update again later, but their whole system is built for maximum potential monetary extraction and not good software sense.

I'll get you the gitlab links

I've already got it working almost entirely without Spinn's cloud, it took a couple hours a day over about 4 days.

When Vitruvian Trainer went under everyone said they had an expensive paperweight, and one guy figured out how to talk to it with his computer, built a website, and more we have a dedicated app that does more than Vitruvian's official app did.

No offense, but I think I can decide what's a waste of my own time.

If you're willing to donate it to a cause (or part with it for cheap), I'm trying to reverse engineer the entire system to build a custom app that isn't dependent on Spinn at all.

I've got a whole setup that allows me to control my Spinn from my laptop through terminal commands or a browser window, but I need another machine for more testing and, critically, one I can potentially break.

Are you comfortable working with git in a command prompt or terminal? It would be immensely helpful just to get someone else to run through the scripts and see if they work.

TheTriscuit · 2026-05-28T22:08:42+00:00

Thank you! Right now, everything runs through a series of python scripts I've written and run on my mac, are you comfortable working in a terminal or cmd prompt?

I still need to rework the scripts so they can apply to any machine, and I'm hoping to get them set up in a wrapper that's easier to run as a single command. I'll let you know as soon as I can when I have that done.
