NOTE - This isn't supported or approved by recteq at all!
This is a Home Assistant custom component for recteq grills and smokers. It supports connecting to multiple grills creating a climate entity and a couple sensor entities (probe A and B) for each one.
Download a copy of the latest release and unpack the contents into
into config/custom_components/recteq/ on your HA machine then restart it.
This integration is configured using the UI only. Navigate to Configuration > Integrations and tap the red "+" button in the bottom right. Search for and select the "Rectec" entry. You'll get the dialog shown below. Enter the details for your grill and tap "Submit".
The IP address if your grill can usually be found if you dig into the logs for your DHCP server. Poke around on your router for that.
The tuyapower project can be used to scan for Tuya devices on your network. The controller in the rectecs is a Tuya device. The IP address is shows (10.0.0.100 below) is the one you want. The ID value in the output is the 20-digit device ID needed. The product value in the output is not the local key!
# python -m tuyapower
TuyaPower (Tuya compatible smart plug scanner) [0.0.25] tinytuya [1.0.3]
Scanning on UDP ports 6666 and 6667 for devices (15 retries)...
FOUND Device [Valid payload]: 10.0.0.100
ID = 00000000000000000000, product = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, Version = 3.3
Device Key required to poll for stats
Scan Complete! Found 1 devices.tuyapower has some notes on how to get
the local key but I found it on my Android phone pretty simply. I connect it
via USB to my laptop, allow MTP access, then I can browse the filesystem on
the phone. I found Phone/Android/data/com.ym.rectecgrill/cache/1.abj has
logs from the app and includes JSON-formatted messages that include a
localKey property. That's the 16-digit local key value needed here.

I'm Paul Dugas, paul@dugas.cc. This is my first HA integration so be gentle!
I learned this was possible from SDNick484/rectec_status and
based the intial versions of the project on his examples.
