Zigbee probe thermometer? (lemmy.world)

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?

Are you looking for a long probe, or a small probe on a long cable?

Sorry, yes, small probe on a longish cable. It's for measuring temperatures on various pipes and hot water tanks to try and understand our new wood stove central heating a bit better.

Hey, this is exactly what I wish to accomplish.

I haven't found any readymade device either..

I have bought all the parts needed, but like you, I don't have the patience/time to put them together.

The reviews aren't the best, but I did find this recently. Haven't tried it out yet.

That's the one I got, but home assistant only sees the switch, not the temperature.
