Inkbird to Homeassistant

The purpose of this project is to get popular multi-probe inkbird thermometers into homeassistant for automations, temperature logging, changing lights based on BBQ status, and whatever else you can think of.

Requirements

This is designed to run on a raspberry pi, but it should work fine on any linux system with a BLE adapter.

Quick Start

The easiest way to run this probject is to run the image from docker hub using docker-compose

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jshridha/inkbird/master/docker-compose.yaml

You will need to modify the environmental variables | Variable | Required (Y/N) | Description | |----------|----------------|-------------| | INKBIRD_MQTT_HOST | Y | MQTT server that home assistant uses | INKBIRD_ADDRESS | Y | The bluetooth address for the inkbird | INKBIRD_MQTT_USERNAME | N | MQTT username | INKBIRD_MQTT_PASSWORD | N | MQTT password | INKBIRD_TEMP_UNITS | N | Set to F for farenheit and C for celsius (defaults to F)

Then just run docker-compose up -d
