RAPT Pill Hydrometer Instruction Manual
There are five options available in the Captive Portal.

WiFi

This screen is where we select and connect to the desired user WiFi network when first setting up
the Pill. Once connected, this screen displays the network that the Pill is connected to, as well as a
list of available WiFi networks.
Note: The RAPT Pill can only store one network at a time. Should you need to connect it to a
different network, this must be done manually through this screen.

Registration

When the Pill is first set up, this is where you navigate in order to see the MAC Address and
Validation Code to register. Once registered, you can elect to Clear Registration in this screen. This
should not be necessary in normal use.
If you are not receiving telemetry in the RAPT App, check the Registration Screen in the Pill Captive
Portal. If there is not a message displaying "REGISTRATION DONE!" then your Pill has not been
successfully registered to the RAPT App. Please refer to Troubleshooting below.

Settings

The Settings tab enables you to select the Telemetry method. You can toggle between WiFi and
Bluetooth. WiFi telemetry is the default option. Bluetooth should only be selected if you have a
suitable Bluetooth enabled RAPT device such as a RAPT Fermentation Chamber or a RAPT
Temperature Controller. Bluetooth will only work within the RAPT ecosystem.
Note: Bluetooth requires a compatible RAPT device such as a Fermentation Chamber or
Temperature Controller. Bluetooth will not broadcast unless the RAPT Pill is first registered to the
RAPT Portal using WiFi.
The Telemetry Interval can be set in this screen. The default telemetry interval for WiFi is 60 minutes
(recommended) or 5 minutes for Bluetooth. Setting shorter telemetry intervals will impact battery
life negatively.
The minimum telemetry interval for WiFi is 15 minutes.
The recommended telemetry interval for Bluetooth is 5 minutes. Real world testing has shown that
this is optimal (with current firmware) for balancing data logging and battery life. Note: The default
Sensor Timeout for RAPT Fermentation Chambers and Temperature Controllers is 130 seconds, thus
it is important for Bluetooth operation that this is changed to a value higher then the Bluetooth
Telemetry Interval. We recommend setting Bluetooth Telemetry Interval to 5 minutes and the RAPT
Fermentation Chamber or Temperature Controller Sensor Timeout to at least 360 seconds.
Note that a warning may appear in the Captive Portal when setting a Bluetooth Telemetry interval of
less than 60 seconds. This is to ensure compatibility against future Bluetooth integration and can be
disregarded when using the Pill entirely within the RAPT ecosystem.
The Set Temperature Offset option allows to calibrate your RAPT Pill against a known, calibrated
thermometer. Note: During calibration the displayed temperature will generally be higher than
actual, as the battery will be in use and thus affecting the board temperature. For temperature
