Monitor my 'analog' fireplace

Hi, new here and not yet a homey-owner, but I’m interested in making my home smart in some areas, and although I’m not familiar at all with a possible Homey scripting language, I think I’ll manage to come up with a script, if the below is at all possible:

I have a wood-stove, entirely analog. No sensors, no apps, just a door and two manually operated airflow-valves.

Every now and then, after starting it, we just forget to add some wood, until it’s (almost) too late and the fire dies. Now I want to be able to set a small alarm on my phone to prevent that.

What if I stick a temperature sensor to my chimney.
Whenever I start a fire, the surface temp on the chimney will soon rise to, say, 80°C. At that point a script should be triggered. If temperature then falls below 50°C (because I forget to add fuel), my phone gives me a warning. I reset the alarm, add fuel and the process restarts.

Would this be possible?
Is there a ready-to-go solution already available?
Are there smarter solutions (I’m not going to buy another wood stove)?

Thanks

That’s a good idea!

It would work the way you described it. What sensor will you use?

Sonoff makes good sensors. Hue indoor motion detectors are magneting and has a temperature sensor on it.

Thanks for your reply. Just glad it can be done, this is another excuse for me to start with Homey. I have no idea yet what sensor to use, but ideally it would be a battery type.

It’s a quite simple thing to set up, if you find the right sensor. I’ll be happy to help you once you have all the hardware!

That’s the same as what I’m doing with my waterpump for the fireplace.
I have attached it to my CV and pumping water to heat it up.

Just using a Sonoff TH16 with a DS18B20 temperatuur sensor

Just saw that you want a batterij powerd sensor.
You can use a Xiaomi Aqara zigbee sensor but be carefull that you are not melting it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
