Delay before first report

[agentgonzo]

Is it possible to (optionally) make the ispindel do it's sleep/delay before sending the first message?

It connects straight away as soon as I turn it on after charging. Given it's not floating in the beer at that point, it reports a wild number for the angle/gravity. Which then makes all my charts scale unnecessarily to take account of a huge or tiny SG value.

It would be nice if I could turn it on, drop it in the fermenter, then have it send it's readings once it's settled

Thanks

I just delete the 1st reading from BrewSpy.

I think this is a very interesting request. If you are using it to report to InfluxDB/Grafana/MQTT, you just can't delete that initial value
A setting where you can specify a 20 second delay fixes this

It kind of feels like the fix here needs to be in the server/cloud side, this is a flaw of those tools. Brewfather does not have that problem, perhaps these other tools should be allowing deletion of data points or attaching the device after it is in place.

Agreed, BrewSpy doesn't have that problem either, just delete any datapoints you want.

#644 is sort of not dissimilar. If there were an option to stop sending when fully upright(ish) or horizontal(ish) it would solve both of these issues.
