@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 @steggy I think I can speak for @Taweret as well here saying This was awesome! You're awesome! And thank you again so much for doing this, It was tremendous!

@paco

"Arf" was robbed!

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

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

@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.

@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.

@KZ4LN @franz_e ah. I misunderstood. Sorry

@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
