I was wondering if someone has done something similar:
I want to detect if one of the kitchen burners have been running for a long time. Gas sensors won’t work because the fires are running.
I was thinking that a solution could be to have a wifi-enabled thermostat that sends the temperature to home assistant and if it is above > X for Y minutes, send an alarm/email/notification. The sensor could be hidden below the burners and connected via a cable to measure the temperature.
Does this make sense? Does anybody have some idea how to implement this (maybe using a ESP8266)?
Is there other alternative?

@ShepherdPie@midwest.social I was thinking some kind of HA script that sends me a notification if the temperature is > X during > Y minutes. I rarely use the burners longer than 30 minutes at a time, so if the temperature is high longer than an hour for example, I want to get a notification.
I can live with annoying notifications the few times of the year I use the burners longer, tbh
