Disclaimer: This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to ThermoWorks in any way. It is an unofficial, community-built tool created by ThermoWorks customers for personal use.
See live temperatures from your ThermoWorks Cloud devices in the GitHub Copilot app canvas, terminal, GitHub Copilot CLI statusline, VS Code status bar, or a full device panel — with color-coded alarm alerts and firmware update notifications.
Monitor your live cooks inside the GitHub Copilot app — an animated, fire-vibe canvas with real-time probe temps, interactive temperature graphs, target tracking, time‑to‑done estimates, high/low alarms, and an AI pit master you can chat with. Pick any of your devices/sessions to watch, or explore the built‑in cook simulator with zero setup.
In the GitHub Copilot app, just tell it:
install thermoworks canvas jongio/thermoworks
Then open it and say "watch my cook" (or pick a device). It opens in demo mode out of the box — sign in from the canvas to switch to your live devices. No terminal required.
Built with the
create-canvas-appskill from jongio/skills. See the canvas README for details.
Highlights
- 🔥 Animated fire dashboard — flickering flames, rising embers, alarm pulse.
- 📈 Interactive SVG graph — per‑channel target lines, the 148–168°F stall band, hover crosshair + tooltip.
- 🍖 Live gauges — rate of change, progress bars, time‑to‑done ETAs, "READY" celebration.
- 🤖 Ask the Pit Master — an AI BBQ expert grounded in your live temps.
- 🔌 In‑canvas sign‑in — connect to ThermoWorks Cloud without a console; pick any device/session, or watch them all.
- 🎬 Demo mode — a realistic cook simulator that works with zero credentials.
The canvas ships with Smokey, an AI pit master you can chat with right next to your cook — the part nothing else here does. Every answer is grounded in your live cook data: it reads the actual pit and probe temps, rate of change, target gaps, and time‑to‑done estimates on screen, so the advice is specific to this cook — diagnosing the stall, when to wrap, doneness, food safety, and timing.
- Grounded, not generic. Smokey is handed a live snapshot of your cook, so it cites your real numbers ("your flat at 160°F, climbing +0.2°F/min, ~3.5h out").
- No API keys. It uses the GitHub Copilot app's own model — nothing to configure, no separate account.
- Shared with the agent. The same chat is driveable by you (one‑tap suggestion chips or free text) and by the Copilot agent, over the same state.
Full sidebar device panel + status bar integration. See all your devices, channels, battery, firmware status, and alarm states embedded in your editor.
Install: Search "ThermoWorks" in VS Code Extensions, or get it from the Marketplace.
Live temperatures in your terminal footer while you code. Interactive wizard to pick devices and channels. 19 commands for device monitoring, alarms, sessions, data export, and more.
Install: npx thermoworks
Real-time temperature dashboard with Recharts history graphs, alarm color coding, light/dark theme, and public share viewer — all in the browser. Built with React 19, Vite, and Tailwind CSS.

Run locally:
# Clone and start the dev server
git clone https://github.com/jongio/thermoworks.git
cd thermoworks && pnpm install
pnpm --filter thermoworks-web devNode.js SDK for programmatic access — build your own dashboards, alerts, or automations with full access to devices, channels, events, archives, calibration data, and more.
Install: npm install thermoworks-sdk
Model Context Protocol server that exposes your ThermoWorks device data to AI assistants like GitHub Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT.
Start:
# Via npx (no install needed)
npx thermoworks mcp start
# Or if installed globally
thermoworks mcp start# Sign in to ThermoWorks Cloud
npx thermoworks auth login
# List your devices with channel readings
npx thermoworks devices
# Watch temperatures live (auto-refresh)
npx thermoworks watch
# Run the Copilot statusline setup wizard
npx thermoworks copilot setupFor command details, see the CLI reference.
Instant visual alarms when temperatures cross thresholds — red for too high, blue for too low. VS Code blinks the status bar; the CLI uses ANSI color codes.
Automatically detects outdated device firmware by comparing against the latest version from ThermoWorks Cloud. Orange warning visible at every tree level — device folder, device node, and expanded details.
Pick averages or individual channels for multi-probe devices like the Signals 4-channel or Smoke 2-channel.
Credentials stored in the OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Vault, libsecret). Sign in once — CLI and VS Code share access. Environment variables (THERMOWORKS_EMAIL / THERMOWORKS_PASSWORD) supported for headless environments.
The fire icon in the VS Code Activity Bar shows a badge count of devices with active alarms — you'll know something needs attention without even opening the panel.
One-click link to cloud.thermoworks.com from within the VS Code panel.
Test alarm styling and take screenshots without real credentials:
# CLI one-shot demo
npx thermoworks demo high # red text
npx thermoworks demo low # blue text
npx thermoworks demo normal # no color
# Auto-cycling statusline demo
npx thermoworks copilot setup --demoIn VS Code: Command Palette → ThermoWorks: Demo (Simulate Alarm) — populates the full panel and status bar with fake devices.
