Problem or Use Case

Thanks for your work!

My P1 doesnt have a chamber temp, but I did add one, and its exposed via HA. Since the plug info is already grabbed via HA, this should be pretty straightforward.

It's good to have the data when printing with materials that need the chamber heat and would be nice to have all in one place since it is specifically for the printer, just not supported natively by the manufacturer.

Proposed Solution

Allow overwriting models with built-in chamber temp/humidity sensors and allow adding them to printers that dont have them.

Alternatives Considered

I have the data in HA, but it would be nice to have it here as well.

Before we commit to building this, I'd like to gauge community interest. If you'd find this feature useful, please give this issue a thumbs up (👍) reaction so we can prioritize accordingly.

A few questions to help scope this if we move forward:

  • Would you expect this to show up on the printer dashboard alongside native sensors, or in a separate section?
  • Should it feed into the same historical charts/logging that native chamber sensors use?
  • Are you thinking just temperature + humidity, or other HA entities as well (e.g., air quality, VOC)?

I think:

  • showing alongside the native sensors is a good idea. For ppl printing temp sensitive materials, it would be very handy.
  • I also believe having the external sensors fed into historical data would be beneficial, but Hass has history for the sensor as well, so not exactly a requirement, just a nice to have.
  • honestly, would be great to be able to import X entities and place them wherever. Things like VOC or whatever else. I saw someone else make an issue about having switches available to toggle for things like external chamber heater and bentobox air scrubber. If the Hass system was revamped to allow arbitrary # of entities, we could go ham.

Thank you for your work!
