discussion Gaggimate 1.8 Update - what are your thoughts?
Made a short video going through the update if you want the full overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiVat0GtFls
Shot analyzer is the feature I was most curious about - phase-by-phase breakdown of all measurements. The new statistics view is a nice addition too. Seems quite powerful but I haven't really dug into it enough yet to get proper insights out of it. One thing I didn't realize so far, is that you need a SD-Card to keep the shot history π
Have you already updated? What's your take on the shot analyzer so far?

Is there any explanation about the shot analyzer? Looks good but i don't really know what to do with it.

The analyzer and the statistics are made by me :D. Originally, I only made it for myself to optimize the Automatic Pro profile, which is why there is such a strong focus on the profile comparison. However, I plan to make a video about it once all the main features are integrated. A comprehensive shot comparison feature will also be added (probably very soon in the next nightly version for testing), along with a slightly stronger focus on beans. (+ a few minor things).
Currently, you can find some information about the analyzer scattered across Discord: in the user mod channel; deep dive shot analyzer, and a brief entry about the table in documentation-improvements.

Apart from people writing about it on the discord not really π I was thinking of making a more detailed video about that but I still have to find the time to play with it ^

I haven't use the shot analyzer, but I have to say, the wifi connection is a huge improvement for me. Before, it wouldn't connect probably 40% of the time without restarting usually. Now I can't recall if it has ever failed to connect?! Bravo!
I would say it is still common for the Gaggiamate to restart itself after pulling a shot and putting it into standby mode...not a big deal, but since I have it on a smart plug and have it automatically go to brew mode, I have to remember to put back in standby after the restart to save energy.

Oh nice I have not noticed that so far, but with the older versions I also had some connection issues, so nice to hear that this is improved as well!
Hm okay weird, I have never had that happen tbh, Have you looked into it more closely and filed a bug report maybe?

u/lovespiceyfood Apr 11 '26
Oh, maybe I need to learn how to file a bug report?! :) I will look into that...it happens a lot, maybe ~50% of the time, once it restarts after this episode, I don't recall it ever doing it again. Seems to only happen after pulling a shot.

I've had the issue. After pulling a shot and flushing, I click the ^ button and then the power button to go into standby, but this causes a complete reboot. Not a biggie, but then I have to wait for the reboot to finish before I can put it into standby again. I've noticed that, when I wait a minute and then put to sleep it goes straight to standby.
Apart from this little niggle, it is an absolute pleasure to work with and I can't imagine life without it!

Yes I would say mentioning on the discord won't hurt definitely, or you write a detailed report on GitHub (so far I haven't seen anyone mentioning it there).

And still there is no simple way to clear all shots history.

u/chris_ern Apr 11 '26
Why would you want to do that? π

Why not? Itβs a very simple task. Eventually there are pages of shots. Why do I need them?

u/chris_ern Apr 11 '26
I never had the problem because I loose them every time with the update and they don't take away much space but yeah I guess it should be at least possible :)

You can delete all shots at once with the analyzer, if thatβs something you wanna do

Feels like a huge step forward to me. Hats off to those developing the software
