Grill Buddy - your grilling companion

I figured it out. have to use my probe sensor as the source:

wanted to see how are you using these in automations or Lovelace dashboard?

Looking for ideas?

Greatā€¦ not that anyone told you that beforeā€¦

I have just tested it in boiling water so far.
I have thought about just adding the attributes as a markdown card.
The attributes has all the things I want so there is no real need to make it more complex as I see it.
But perhaps Iā€™ll change my mind later when I have actually used it.

I probably will create an automation with Time to target (s) < 2 minutes, for 10 seconds as trigger.
It was moving around a bit when I just tested it, could be that itā€™s more stable in real later.

please let me know how youā€™d suggest to improve the readme on this point (or better, make a PR). Happy to take any help to make sure others arenā€™t confused!

I only use one probe for my meats and itā€™s triggering all my automations at once. So nothing gets announced. Anybody has a way around it with only using one probe?

not sure what is causing this - doesnā€™t look like an issue with the integration but more with your elaborate automation

Any update as to when this will show up in HACS?

In about 2 years. And I am not even kidding. They have a huge backlog and donā€™t seem to care about figuring out another way of doing things.

WoW! Thatā€™s uneal. But thanks for letting us know. Gonna go the manual route now.

You can add it as a custom repository in HACS and it will work that way in HACS.
