Combustion integration

Third party integrations
1

I’ve been working on a custom integration for Combustion predictive thermometers. It automatically discovers all probes that are reachable via Bluetooth, either via direct connection or via a Meatnet repeater. It currently creates a device for each discovered probe, with each device having the following sensors:

  • Core Temperature
  • Ambient Temperature
  • Surface Temperature
  • Battery Status

There are also 8 additional temperature sensors that can be optionally enabled, one for each of the thermistors in the probe.

Give it a try and let me know what you think: GitHub - legrego/homeassistant-combustion: Integrate Combustion thermometers with Home Assistant

This looks pretty neat!
Any chance you could get this into HACS?

Yes, I have a PR open awaiting review: Adds new integration [legrego/homeassistant-combustion] by legrego · Pull Request #2226 · hacs/default · GitHub

Thanks @legrero for making this. It works well, I’ll have to setup a dashboard for now it :slight_smile:

HACS does work, just need to add the repo. The only thing i noticed missing was some of the predictive timers, but I didnt look super hard so far.

Works great as a conditional card on my main dashboard. I have it set to only appear when the core temp goes above 90. Thank you!

How active is this development? Is it something I should rely upon?

I have a vested interest in maintaining this for my own needs. My limited time is currently dedicated to another one of my integrations (homeassistant-elasticsearch), but I plan on returning to this once I wrap up a few enhancements on the other one.

Is there a way to change the polling / refresh rate? I’d like to build a temperature controller on top of this. I looked into the python code inside the custom_components folder but I couldn’t find anything obvious. I am not too familiar with this type of python / bluetooth interface coding.

err I take that back. It updates plenty fast. Thanks, awesome integration! Painless :slight_smile:

Is there anyway of using home assistant to act as a meatnet relay to send the data to the cloud ie act as the wifi repeater rather than a phone. Does combustion inc even allow this function in the api?

BTW thanks for building this integration it will be so useful for alerts

@vijaykbhatia not at this time. I’m not aware of a public API for the MeatNet Cloud.
