Technical Comments
The Skyflo Spout is currently designed to transmit pour data to the Master immediately, and if it
gets no response, to continue sending after 2/4/8/16/30/60/120/240/480 seconds, then attempt to
transmit every 8 minutes until it succeeds.
The Spout synchronises with the Master Unit once every hour to check connection, whether the
Spout is pouring or at rest.
If the Spout is unable to transmit the data immediately it is able to store more than 50 pours.
