With a final goal of being able to run as a containerized add-on in the home automation software Home-Assistant</p> <h2 id="progress">Progress</h2> <p>Currently the program runs in the simple python GUI editor tkinter. Users see a grid which they can select where their sensors are on the grid and enter temperature values for those sensors, to act as an temporary manual input.</p>
