I have the BBQ Guru CyberQ Wi-Fi thermostatic controller and just did a 12 hour brisket cook. While running the cook overnight I had thoughts of how nice it would be to have the controller integrated into my ever growing HA system. After a lot of searching I was unable to find any documented successful implementations for this controller.
After 2 days of searching, scraping and amateur HA programming I have a working solution.
Basic section card for the CyberQ. All it does is display. No inputs or updating. Still trying to decide how I might approach that.
This code goes into your configuration.yaml file. Edit the IP to match your controller. I set my controller to have a dedicated IP in the router so this doesn’t have to be changed all the time.

The rest section reads the values from the controller. The rest_command section writes the values to the controller. Writing works but seems inconsistent with the temp values so some tweaking may be needed.
Scripts are needed to write to the unit.
Paste the scripts below into your scripts.yaml file.

That’s it. Maybe there are others out there that might find this helpful. And if anyone wants to run with this and create some better cards or updating cards I would love to see the code. I’m just an amateur.
