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?

For my own morbid curiosity, why Zigbee?

If you don't want to learn ESP Home yet, but you're ok with Wifi, here's a sensor that uses ESPHome, but is all pre-programmed and ready to go with Home Assistant. I haven't used this produce yet, but the other products from Apollo are pretty awesome.
