ESPHome Inkbird IHT-2PB Temperature Sensor Integration

This project allows you to integrate the Inkbird IHT-2PB temperature sensor with ESPHome, making the temperature data available in Home Assistant.

Prerequisites

• Home Assistant installed and running.
• ESPHome installed and configured.

Hardware Requirements

• Inkbird IHT-2PB temperature sensor
• An ESP32 board (tested with Espressif32 devkit-v4 and Seeed XIAO ESP32C3)
  • for use with ESP32-C3 (like: Seeed XIAO ESP32C3 use the ESP32C3_Inkbird_IHT_2PB.yaml. As this uses the arduino-framework you might run into memory issues (Tested and works fine on Seeed XIAO ESP32C3). Be sure for first time flash to use a usb cable if you change from esp-idf to arduino (issues described here ).

Installation

• Copy 'secrets_template.yaml' to 'secrets.yaml' and replace the placeholders by your value
• Use ESPHome command line or dashboard to install

Data

It provides 4 entities to Home assistant:

• The temperatures of the 3 probes.
• The last probe data that was received.
