HOW MANY KEG SENSORS DO I NEED?

You need 1 Flite keg sensor for EVERY keg you want to monitor.

​

HOW MANY CONTROLLERS DO I NEED?

You need 1 Flite display OR Flite headless controller per Flite keg sensor.

​

SHOULD I USE A FLITE DISPLAY OR HEADLESS CONTROLLER?

This ultimately depends on the number of kegs you have, how you would like to view your data, and how you would like to configure/calibrate your sensor when needed. If you have only a couple of kegs, the Flite display is likely the best option, as it has a local display that can be mounted near your taps. If you have more than a couple of kegs or plan to build out to more than a couple of kegs, you may want a monitor to display your data. If this is the case, a Flite display IS NOT required to connect the sensor to the monitor, and a headless option is simpler and cheaper to install. Be aware that calibrating the Flite headless controller requires you to browse the local web server, so you should be comfortable with that.

More information on calibration using the web server can be found in the Flite User's Guide

​

OK... A MONITOR DISPLAYING MY KEG DATA SOUNDS COOL, WHAT OPTIONS ARE SUPPORTED?

Currently there are two options supported for a monitor displaying your keg data:

​

• Taplist.io - A cloud-based subscription service. The Flite controller can be configured to automatically update your kegs, and you can view and display your "keg room" on any monitor with internet access.

​

• BruControl - A Windows-based software for developing custom HMI (Human Machine Interface) graphics for your brewery sensors and leveraging scripting to automate control.

​

• KegScreen - A free open-source web server that reads the local Flite controllers and displays the data on a monitor connected to a Raspberry Pi. This project is in progress, more details to come soon!
