This is a reverse engineered server for the proprietary PicoBrew protocol. The PicoBrew Zymatic is a machine to homebrew beer. Since their Firmware is not yet open sourced (they intend to release it at some point) it is missing an offline mode this server can be used as an alternative.
The PicoBrew's built-in Ardunio uses an unencrypted HTTP communication protocol. All request are GET requests and are not authenticated. The following documentation is based on Firmware 1.18.
