I've been looking for a zigbee temperature sensor that has a long (1-2m) probe. I can find general room temperature zigbee sensors, and WiFi devices with probes, but not what I'm looking for. Searching online just comes up with people saying I'd need to make make soemthing myself with esphome.

I'm not opposed to getting into esp at some point when I've got some free time, but I'd like something quick and easy I could just buy and have working easily. Anyone know of anything suitable?

I think the reason you’re not seeing that kind of device is that zigbee is designed more for low-bandwidth, sporadic updates rather than continuous streams of live data like you typically expect from a probe thermometer.

Not OP, but I've been looking for something like this. I've got a couple of refrigerators and a deep freeze I'd like to monitor. I'm not looking for a cooking tool that constantly sends updates. For that I'd like to use a multi-probe Bluetooth device. I've got Zigbee for other sensors, and I'd like to add these to the net
