I have a grill thermometer that is close to 10 years old (2017) that was made for use with a mobile app that is no longer available. My old phone finally died and I can't install the app on my new one.
I was wondering if anyone has given this a try for this product already or has any experience with reverse engineering communication with Bluetooth devices for use with HA.
I've included the PDF manual for the product.

I got a fair bit with some help from OpenAI but I'm stuck trying to find the command to send to the device to get it to report the temperature back. If only I had though of this while I still had the app on my phone 😛

I got some additional help from the Norwegian Home Assistant users group that also had some users with the same device.
An integration can now be found here 😄 https://github.com/1v4r/home-assistant/tree/6323220c1bf06e94e4cc0a5562159e015bc9e582/A550

Will this become a core integration?

I have no plans for getting it into core. It's so niche I don't really see the point. The device is old and the number of potential users is really low so it would be clutter to include it in core.

I'd disagree, other people might have such device and then it's a nice way to still give it a second life 🙂

Feel free to fork and deliver 🙂

yea I don't have this device so I can't support this myself, but I'd love to enable people to do so
