Below is a screenshot of my integration with Weber iGrill 2 into the Lovelace UI. I used the code from https://github.com/bendikwa/igrill.git to create the MQTT integration between the igrill and a raspberry pi 3. I run this code on a different raspberry pi than my Home Assistant so that I can move it around closer to the smoker for bluetooth connectivity. I already had mosquitto running on my Home Assistant instance so I just pointed the client on the new instance to that. I then created some alerts to tell me if my smoker’s ambient temperature goes out of a set range, as well as, alerts to notify me when a given probe crosses a set threshold. Nothing fancy, but I am no longer tethered to bluetooth range to keep an eye on my Traeger.

I was looking for something exactly like this, so thank you.
Nice use off Lovelace. I’ll be doing something similar once I get my Maverick grill thermometer working again with the RTL 433mhz stick and addon
Nice 
Could you share your automation, etc etc?

This is really nice. I have a plugin for the FireBoard with HomeSeer but no graphic dashboard like this. I wonder if I can integrate HomeSeer and Home Assistant for a dashboard use case? Thoughts are flowing

Anybody any luck with getting the integration to work?
After changing a few hard-coded items (e.g. the MAC address of the iGrill 2 device) I still can’t get it to run - this is the current error message:

i got it working over the weekend but it wasn’t as straight forward as i had hoped.
are you running monitor.py or monitor_igrill_v2.py?
i couldn’t get the monitor.py to work, so i reverted to monitor_igrill_v2.py and just updated the script manually
Hmmmm…I have it working with monitor.py, did you pull the enable_threading branch. I tried several different forks from that repo and the one I linked seem to work the best.
Is the mqtt.yaml config correct syntax ? Did you put the location of your broker in there?
Ya I kept getting weird errors but it is probably something dumb I did on my end.
I’m inclined to leave it alone now though.
I am using the enable_threading branch, I changed:
-
#!/usr/bin/env pythonin monitor.py to#!/usr/bin/env python3 - ADDRESS and mqtt_server in monitor_igrill_v2.py
- mqtt.yaml to show my host IP and port for my mqtt server
3 shouldn’t have been nexessary, I think, because the mqtt info is hardcoded in the file monitor_igrill_v2.py anyway
But the error messages above are still what I get 
I think is uses the hard coded values if it doesn’t find a config file.
I ran into issues trying to run in with python 3. One other person I exchanged messages said he had issues running it with Jessie, so he updated to stretch
Thanks for the hint - I have another Pi3 running on stretch, I will try it on that one.
Now that I think of it, that error you are having is the last error I got when trying to run it with python 3. I fixed a couple along the way, but then got this one, and said forget it, I will run it with python 2:
First time poster, fairly new HA user. When I run haas --script check config on both the configuration.yaml and ui-lovelace yaml, I am getting the error Component not found: igrill. Any idea what I am missing?
There really is no component called igrill, can you included the relevant portions of your config.yaml and ui-lovelace and I will take a look.
I do have a group setup, but that shouldn’t impact unless you reference it somewhere, I don’t think I reference it, but just in case here is what I have, in my groups.yaml:
igrill:
name: Weber iGrill
entities:
- sensor.probe_1
- sensor.probe_2
- sensor.probe_3
- sensor.probe_4
- sensor.igrill_battery
- input_number.grill_probe_1_target
- sensor.target_alert_temp_probe_1
- input_number.grill_probe_2_target
- sensor.target_alert_temp_probe_2
- input_number.grill_probe_3_target
- sensor.target_alert_temp_probe_3
- input_number.grill_alert_low
- input_number.grill_alert_high
- sensor.grill_alert_temp
- automation.monitor_grill_temp_alert
- automation.monitor_grill_temp_normal
- automation.probe_1_target_temp
- automation.probe_2_target_temp
- automation.probe_3_target_temp
Well, I’m not sure what it was. I added the Group and was getting the same issue. I then redid the complete configuration.yaml and while it appears to be identical, something must have been “off”. It works with and without the Group, so I’m not sure what was going on. (copied out to Notebook ++ and then pasted back) 
For the record, I’ll be modifying this for my Ivation sensor (433 mHz) and my existing python script using rtl_433 that sends MQTT info.
Cool!!! Glad you got past that error.
