Seperate flame/smoke/fire detection

[Bluscream]

Would be nice if there was a seperate object detector that is trained to see flames in color and under IR lights

Second that.
I'am trying to detect the right time to put more logs in the oven. So basically I want to detect when the flame goes out.

Seconded, I want to monitor my neighbor's electric car in case it burns up my yard.

Something like this along with an ESP32 and some code might be a better solution. It can measure temps -40C to 300C so you could set alert temps high or low using this inexpensive thermal camera

There is already an ESPHome application if you're using Home Assistant https://github.com/infotronic218/esphome-mlx9060
and other implementations if you Google mlx9060.

No image recognition is required
