@paco Were you about for the weird rules they started enforcing in their pubs?
Using an electronic device or swearing could get you barred.
No shaved heads & no leather jackets.

The owner is pretty much universally regarded as a bit of a knob.

@tamonten I did not know about those, no! I don’t think I ever went to one of their pubs.

@paco the connector looks like a standard K-type thermocouple connector.

franz_e@libori.social

@paco You should probably look into ESPHome, even though it can be a bit finicky at times.

paco@infosec.exchange

@franz_e I’m not changing out my whole home automation system. I have dozens and dozens of devices on home assistant. Just looking to add this one.

bruce@mastodon.au

@paco the back of the thermoworks reader says it is a type k thermocouple. They are very standard. There will be a million examples projects if you google “esphone type k thermocouple” that will guide you in the right direction.

A quick search of my own finds https://esphome.io/components/sensor/max6675/ which uses a MAX6675 chip to read the probe

@paco @franz_e ESPHome goes on an ESP32 and is a companion to home assistant. This is the way.

paco@infosec.exchange

@KZ4LN @franz_e ah. I misunderstood. Sorry

bruce@mastodon.au

@paco @franz_e esphome is a microcontroller framework that makes it easy to integrate pretty much anything with home assistant. They are collaborating products, not competitors

zs@techhub.social

@paco @franz_e ESPHome is part of and written by Home Assistant/Nabu Casa…

franz_e@libori.social

@paco Exactly, and that's why you want to look into ESPHome, which is an addon for Home Assistant which let's you add custom devices to your existing HA setup quite easily (if all goes well). These custom devices will usually be based on ESP32 and the likes.
