Tilt Pi
We recommend using a Raspberry Pi to stream Tilt data to Brewer's Friend. Since the Tilt only operates on Bluetooth you need a WiFi + Bluetooth device like a Raspberry Pi to connect to the Tilt and also connect to the internet to send data to Brewer's Friend.
Raspberry Pi Setup
Download and Install the Tilt Pi image to your Raspberry Pi. https://tilthydrometer.com/products/tilt-pi-raspberry-pi-disk-image-download
Raspberry Pi WiFi Setup
After you have the above image on a micro SD card, insert that into the Raspberry Pi, plugin a USB keyboard and HDMI monitor. After it boots up, follow these instructions to setup WiFi. After this you can unplug they keyboard and monitor as you won't need it again.
Once your Raspberry Pi is setup and connected to your WiFI you can access it from your network. http://tiltpi.local:1880/ui
