⚖️Smartscales - Bluetooth Features
You can customize pretty much how your smart scale should interact with Beanconqueror and what should be done when. For this navigate to Menu -> Settings -> Bluetooth Scales
The cool thing? All features are inside the Beanconqueror software, no need to buy a specific scale to get these features.
Espresso - Automatically stop brew
This mode works just on a preparation method which is set to espresso.
When falling below a specific flow rate, Beanconqueror automatic stops the timer, and therefore the graph drawing.
This can be customized to a custom flow rate threshold, where you may get an minimum offset of 0.1 to 0.2 grams in the cup.
Ignore the current transfer weight.
This mode works perfect on Filter. You'll get two new buttons visible in the brew page
Defaults to "PAUSE" icon - Weights are streamed from the scale into the graph.
When you press "PAUSE", it will toggle to the "PLAY", and starts to ignore the weight changes incoming from the scale, and takes the last one reported. Therefore you can do shakes, swirls, lifts, removing the cup without having the weight graph goes up or down, aswell as the flow.
Use case (Examples)
You brew a V60 and want to swirl
You brew a Aeropress and want to stirr
You brew a Aeropress and you want to remove the Aeropress from the scale to push down the plunger but you still want the whole brew-time recorded.
Start timer automatically?
This mode will work perfect on Filter or Espresso. You'll get a new button which will be visible on the brew page
When you press the "LISTENING" icon, the brew timer aswell as the scale will reset, so the scale is zerod. When a first weight change is registered like a first coffee drip, or the start of the pour the timer will start automatically and starts now drawing the graph.
You can also set a minimum threshold of weight change to start, e.g. when you have a very vibrating plate and your scale will change from 0 to 0.3g frequently, you could set the threshold to 0.5g to then start the timer.
