RAPT Pill - Hydrometer & Thermometer (Wifi & Bluetooth)

RAPT Pill - Hydrometer & Thermometer (Wifi & Bluetooth)

The RAPT Pill allows true real-time specific gravity and temperature logging and control via wifi/BlueTooth integration with the RAPT fermentation chamber, RAPT mobile app or RAPT IoT.

The RAPT Pill allows you to instantly read and log your fermentation's specific gravity and temperature via the RAPT mobile app on your compatible Android smartphone or tablet, Apple iPhone/iPad or via the RAPT IoT hub on your Windows or Mac Computer.

The RAPT Pill has a long battery life and can last 2-5 months between charges when utilising Wifi. If only using Bluetooth, the battery can last 2+ years before needing to be recharged. The RAPT Pill has a USB-C charging port on the circuit board, allowing fast charging from any USB-C cable.

How long will the Pill last between charges?

60min telemetry frequency - 1.5 years

30min telemetry frequency - 9.5 months

15min telemetry frequency - 5 months

Note: The default telemetry frequency is 60 min, so if you do not change the settings, the battery should last 1.5years approximately.

The RAPT Pill is universal and is compatible with most standard carboys, Cornelius kegs, stainless steel fermenters, and pressurise fermenters.

Pill Housing Design

The RAPT Pill housing boasts many advantages compared to other wireless hydrometers, such as:

Made from robust BPA Free Nylon 12 and Polyketone(POK)

The clear Nylon 12 and Polyketone plast are food grade, FDA approved, BPA (and free of other types of bisphenol). These are also plasticiser and phthalate-free. Nylon 12 and POK are also high temperature resistant, chemically resistant and highly robust. They also contain no endocrine disruptors making them a much better choice than polycarbonate, which is used in other products.

Greater ergonomics: The shape of the RAPT Pill has been designed for improved usability compared to other wireless hydrometers such that the Pill separates into two pieces at the midline of the Pill rather than requiring a difficult-to-remove end cap to be unscrewed.

Sanitary design: The RAPT Pill has no exposed thread and a double o-ring seal, allowing for a water-tight seal with a reduced risk of infection.

Less susceptible to error: The larger housing of the RAPT Pill compared to other wireless hydrometers means that the gravity logging is less susceptible to error from krausen, hops or CO2 bubbles from fermentation.

The RAPT Pill is approximately 37mm x 125mm - compact enough to fit almost anywhere!

What is RAPT?

The RAPT IoT Hub is a free service whereby any RAPT-enabled product can log and store data in the hub, where you can conveniently access this data. The RAPT hub can also control your devices remotely, giving you absolute control of the device irrespective of where you are. The RAPT portal enables you to make complex temperature profiles that involve different temperature settings over time. You can start/run a temp profile giving you a set-and-forget experience. The RAPT portal also controls the alert/notification process for you so you can receive an email notification if something doesn't go to plan.

There is no limit to the number of RAPT devices you can connect to the RAPT IoT Hub. This is in contrast to other popular wireless hydrometers, where you are limited by the number of hydrometers you can connect to an app.

Please note: The RAPT Pill is fully Wifi and Bluetooth capable. At present, it can be integrated fully with Wifi. Bluetooth integration will be enabled with a later firmware update.
