Hi,  
I’m using Homebridge to expose all our smart devices to Apple HomeKit, I’d love to have all our fridge temps available as we are a cafe and have to record them for food safety (this simple dashboard would make it easy for staff). I’m using IBS-M1’s as the gateway for all the Bluetooth sensors.

There are two plug-ins currently but they don’t really work. Would InkBird developers consider creating an official plugin?

Thanks  
Dave

Sorry, at this time INKBIRD products do not support connections to third parties. I will send it as a suggestion to the engineers.

Now that Matter ( [Build With Matter | Smart Home Device Solution - CSA-IOT](https://csa-iot.org/all-solutions/matter/) ) is becoming a reality and product starting to appear, does Inkbird have plans to joining this standard for IOT devices. Many companies ( e.g. :Apple, Google, Amazon) have joined but Inkbird is still absent!

Hello,  
Sorry, the phone service is currently not supported.  
Perhaps you could email [support@inkbird.com](mailto:support@inkbird.com) with the specific questions?

Have you released an API for Inkbird IBS-M1 in the new Inkbird App?
