What is Decenza?
Current Momentum
v1.6
- Post-shot review redesigned — Quality badges, TDS reading, and shot analysis are now right in the header for quicker access. New "first step skipped" badge detects a known DE1 firmware bug so you know when a power-cycle is needed. - Steam stop-on-time — Steam timer now reliably stops the machine on real hardware, not just in the simulator. - Scale stays connected in background — Your scale no longer disconnects when the app is backgrounded on Android. - Flow calibration expanded — Multiplier cap raised from 2.0 to 3.0 with an unusual-value warning. Auto-calibration ceiling is gated to firmware versions that support it. - Unified device scanning — One "Scan for Devices" button finds your DE1, scale, and refractometer in a single pass. - Preset modified indicator — Espresso preset pills now show when settings have been changed from the saved preset. Beans pill tracks unsaved changes too. - Accessibility improvements — Scale weight announced on the Steam page for blind milk weighing. Preset lists announced when opened on all operation pages. - AI Chat (experimental) — Claude Desktop integration for dialing-in conversations with live context from your beans, shots, and profile. - Stability fixes — Fixed a crash during startup on some devices, improved Visualizer upload compatibility, and fixed favorite profile tap opening the editor instead of selecting.
