I've mentioned this in a few comments on HBT I think. I started using Strangebrew elsinore for a few years until development stopped, then Craftbeerpi until development stopped (and wrote some plugins along the way).
For the last year or so I've been blazing my own path using Node-RED for my brewery. I really like it. I'm not doing full brewery automation at this point with it, but such potential exists. All the talk about craftbeerpi and similar seems to end up in this forum so I thought it was most appropriate.
I'm at a point with my dashboard that I'm pretty happy with it functionally and aesthetically so sharing it here.
I've implemented PID and limited-output PID for an inline heater (RIMS), and PID and manual control for my boil kettle. I also have software blocking and alerts to prevent me from firing two elements at once (there is some hardware control for this as well, don't fear), since my panel feed isn't capable of running 2 5500watt elements at once.
I also have volume sensing set up but I need to add more ports to my kettles for the pressure transducers - so those are hidden in the screenshots. I've been meaning to add communication with my VFD controlled pump for awhile now, but it remains as just a basic on/off on my dashboard for now.
Here's the github repo: https://github.com/jangevaare/brew2
Here's more or less the state of my brewery that it is controlling https://onbrewing.com/2018-brewery-update/
