"The hardware is pretty solid, but the app is just horrible. Basic functions like changing a setting don`t work."

"A nice device and an extremely useful concept for homebrewers that keg their beer, bus as many others have mentioned the software needs some considerable attention. The sensitivity of the scale is unreasonably high, despite it being set to the lowest setting. This results in erroneous pours being recorded simply by opening the fridge door, and often seems to reduce the percentage of beer left in the keg - despite the weight obviously not changjng."

"I really do love this product. The final gravity as reported by the Plaato app is very close to my measured (hydrometer) reading so I know it`s accurate. It`s a great way to keep tabs on how things are going when I`m not at home, and share my brew progress with friends."

"I have just received the airlock and do not currently have a ferment
running as the house is too hot at the moment so this review is on
simulated running. However, aside from initial connection issues,
everything seems to be set up and working and the device is collecting and
sending bubble counts. The initial connection problem was a bit
disappointing as although my router runs on both 2.4 and 5 GHz the app will
not find the 2.4 GHz and the only way I could solve this was to go I to the
admin console on the router and turn off the 5 GHz channel, complete
setting up the airlock and then turn back on the 5 GHz channel. I`m sorry
but I feel this bit of the app needs a bit more work as this is not ideal
as some may reasonably struggle with kind of work around."

"Great app, I just wish I could modify the value in the BPM graph, I don`t ever think I`ll hit 133 or even 800, I`d also love to see a pinch zoom in or zoom out on the chart. Another idea is to set temps and if it goes above or below the temp set you get a notification. After further use I`d also like to see previous brews without having to email a csv to myself, as in get the charts and data all in the app"

"I think it`s great the app includes standard gravity measurements now instead of the lesser used Oe units, but it`s still lacking two features: 1) The ability to reset a Plaato unit through the app. Having to unplug the unit, dump the water, disconnect the base, invert the container, and plug it into the sensor for a reset is a pain and runs the risk of contaminating whatever is currently fermenting. 2) Linking a data set exported to csv to a current fermentation. I`ve had to reset my Plaato mid fermentation and although I exported the data before hand the reset views it as an entirely new batch."

"Limited ability to set the original gravity above 1.150 is a problem. Also the graph doesn`t display above 1.080 so it`s basically useless untill the last few days of fermentation. Device seems to malformed after some time and no longer fits back together. Totally useless."

"Despite MANY attempts the app refuses to see a WIFI router 2 feet away. Without it the app and $120 airlock are expensive decoration or useless plastic. Some day they may fix the app, until then buyer beware."

"It`s been a long time coming, but I`ve really enjoyed watching the development of this product since the kickstarter. Now it`s finally here, it doesn`t disappoint. The app interface is clean, elegant and easy to use. Connecting the device to the WiFi was smooth, no problems at all. Now I`ve got my first brew with the Plaato underway, and I`m loving the BPM metric, live data and graphs of activity over time. I`m very interested to see how accurate the gravity drop / alcohol estimates will end up being, but for now I`m just loving being able to check up on my brew. Showing this off to all my friends and anyone who will listen to me. Great job to all of you at Blynk!"

"Got connected and the connection drops, tried to connect many times it gives message `` PLAATO wants to connect using a temporary WiFi `` and its does not recognize the device. The company should arrange for a customer service representative for web interaction and to resolve any issues. If we can have a video call it would be much better to solve the connectivity issues."

DESCRIPTION
PLAATO is a reinvented airlock that monitors your ongoing fermentation, sending
the key parameters directly to your phone.
PLAATO lets you:
- Monitor the fermentation activity
- Measure the ambient temperature [°F/°C]
- Estimate the Specific gravity and alcohol content [°Oe, %w/w]
PLAATO features:
• WiFi-connection - Access and share your data from wherever you are, using
the PLAATO-app.
• Versatile - Works on beer, cider, wine and all other alcoholic fermentations.
• Replaces your ordinary airlock - Simply switch to PLAATO, and monitoring will
start
• Real time access to data - During the fermentation, you have access to the
essential parameters in real-time, giving you an unique insight of how different
strains of yeast work, how temperature affects the rate of fermentation and much
more.
• Export data - Understand the unique data generated from each batch, and use
the information to compare techniques and taste, and increase you
understanding of whats going on.
How PLAATO works
Plaato measures continously the flow of CO2 from the fermenter, and knows at any
time the total amount of CO2 that has been generated by the fermentation.
Since the fermentation process generates equal amount of CO2 and ethanol, Plaato
can use this data to estimate the Specific Gravity (SG), alcohol percentage and
quantify the fermentation activity.
