Hi,
TL;DR: - I need help adding them to my HA.
I’ve been using Inkbird IBS-TH1 mini sensors as a standalone usecase. They are great, they store quite a bit of data and work great.
I’ve used them for:
-balcony temperature tracking. (sometimes we keep food there, its great to know the temperature difference at different weather conditions)
-to check room temperature fluctuations on different radiator settings,
-to check different parts of the room for difference in temperature
-to check room to room temperature differences and humidity difference.
-track humidity and temperature level around plants
-check different parts of the fridge for temperature fluctuations (my fridge allows temperature to float about 1.5* C)
-check freezer temperatures
And I believe there could be a ton more.
They are fairly cheap. ~20 usd. (Link at the bottom for Aliexpress)
I would like to have them work with home assistant. As then I dont need to open the app everytime I want to know something, and they could give me a warning before me even opening the app first if something is wrong.
I’ve tried using Xiaomi Bluetooth Temperature sensor, but that did not work.
I’ve also found the libs that someone created for them:
However, it’s beyond my skillset to somehow work them into HA as I don’t have any real coding skills.
Would there be anyone amongst us willing to give it a go? I would gladly be willing to run any testing required on my devices.
