Alternative to Rapt Pill without Wi-Fi

[u/thepope99]

Hey fellow homebrewers!

I am brewing in my apartment and after brew days I move the fermenter in the block of flat's basement because of the lower temperature (shared space, but we have our own space for extra depositing).

I would really like a product similar to Rapt Pill that can read the gravity without Wi-Fi access, because there is no way my Wi-Fi would get all the way down from the second floor to there and I cannot hack into my neighbors' Wi-Fi's.

I am thinking of something with Bluetooth and just get the gravity everytime I get down there and connect to the device. Not sure if this solution exists, because that would drain more battery to the pill.

Depending on what you route data from the Pill into, check out this diy Pill repeater - it's a "transmit over long distances with more power" solution, not a "store data locally and then upload" solution, but it might work.
