separately).
6. To check and update manually in the event that this is not up to date, select Check for new
firmware. Your device will automatically download and update the most current available

Bluetooth Operation

The RAPT Pill can send telemetry via WiFI or Bluetooth. For general use WiFi is the default option.
Bluetooth will only work if the RAPT is paired with a Bluetooth capable RAPT device such as a RAPT
Fermentation Chamber, a RAPT Temperature Controller or a RAPT Gen 4 BrewZilla.

Enable Bluetooth/WiFi

To enable Bluetooth on the Pill, you must first connect to the Pill Captive Portal by following the
instructions above. Then, navigate to the Settings page of the Captive Portal.
There is a dropdown menu for Telemetry Method. This enables you to switch between WiFi or
Bluetooth for telemetry, and also to set the desired telemetry interval.
The default telemetry interval for WiFI is 60 minutes.
The default telemetry interval for Bluetooth is 60 seconds.
It is not recommended to set shorter telemetry intervals. Shorter intervals will impact battery life.
Recommended telemetry intervals are 60 minutes for Wifi and 5 minutes for Bluetooth – this
provides the best combination of accurate reporting and battery life.
Once Bluetooth has been enabled in the Pill Captive Portal, the Pill must be Bonded with a RAPT
Bluetooth device such as a RAPT Fermentation Chamber, a RAPT Temperature Controller or a RAPT
Gen 4 BrewZilla.
