Special thanks to jshridha for making this: https://github.com/jshridha/inkbird

Code is altered by me (used code snippet from different forks) to use degree celcius and the ability to use username and password in mqtt

Inkbird to Homeassistant

The purpose of this project is to get popular multi-probe inkbird thermometers into homeassistant for automations, temperature logging, and general awesomeness.

Requirements

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

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/dennisd80/inkbird/master/docker-compose.yaml

You will need to modify the environmental variables

• INKBIRD_MQTT_HOST is the MQTT server that home assistant uses
• INKBIRD_ADDRESS is the bluetooth address for the inkbird
• INKBIRD_MQTT_USER is the username you use for MQTT broker
• INKBIRD_MQTT_PASSWORD is the password for your MQTT broker

Then just run docker-compose up -d

I use the following code in my sensor.yaml, based on the igrill automation:
