Sorry for bothering you with what I'm hoping are basic issues.

I'm running Home assistant on a RPi, with MQTT broker (Mosquitto) running already and doing various things.

I've set up another Pi and installed docker on it to try an make use of your code and get my Inkbird BBQ probe hooked up to HASS.

I've modified the docker-compose.yaml file, adding in my Home assistant pi's IP as the MQTT broker, and the MAC of my probe.

When I run the docker compose command it seems to work (I'm new to docker!), running it again i get the message pi_inkbird_1 is up to date

Is there anything I can do now to test that I'm connected to the Thermometer? Not seeing anything in Home assistant.

Scrap that... turns out I did need to enter a username and password in the setup for it to work! Now receiving data as I hoped. Thank you
