Guides

• Parts list What to buy to build a sign, with the exact screen named and a case you can print.
• Flashing Putting the firmware on the screen from your browser. No software to install.
• Home Assistant mode Setup for people who already run Home Assistant, from HACS to the sign itself.
• Stouts and the stout tube What the sign shows for a nitro stout, and why it cannot show litres left.

Is there an app for the PerfectDraft or PerfectDraft Black?

No, the PerfectDraft and PerfectDraft Black have no app of their own. Manual mode is what the sign uses on those machines: you pick the keg by hand from the catalogue when you tap it, and the sign shows it with the brewery, the ABV and where it is brewed.

Picking a keg takes a few seconds on the sign’s own screen and holds until you change it. What Manual mode cannot do is read the machine, so there is no live volume, temperature or freshness: those figures come from the PerfectDraft Pro and Pro Black, which are the machines with an app and an API behind it. Compare the three modes, or read the FAQ answer to which machines work.
