The purpose of this project is to get popular multi-probe inkbird thermometers into homeassistant for automations, temperature logging, and general awesomeness.
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.
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
INKBIRD_MQTT_HOSTis the MQTT server that home assistant usesINKBIRD_ADDRESSis the bluetooth address for the inkbird
Then just run docker-compose up -d
to find your bluetooth mac address:
