OurBrewbotKeep your MyBrewbot brewing.
The original MyBrewbot firmware relied on a cloud service, an app and an update server that have all gone. OurBrewbot is free, open-source replacement firmware that runs entirely on your own network, with no cloud account needed.

- The
mybrewbot.co.ukcloud backend. The server no longer exists. - The Blynk app, replaced by the web admin page, the REST API and Home Assistant.
What you need
- A MyBrewbot controller or an ESP8266 NodeMCU board wired the same way
- A USB cable that carries data, not just power
- Chrome or Edge on a computer, for the browser installer
- A 2.4 GHz WiFi network
