NBE Blackstar → Home Assistant

My pellet burner heats the house. I monitor servers for a living. It was statistically inevitable that the burner would end up in a dashboard.

This integration pulls telemetry from an NBE Blackstar+ pellet burner and publishes it over MQTT into Home Assistant: temperatures, consumption, states, alerts. The boiler room becomes just another monitored service — one with considerably better heat output than nginx.

Country-life rule: if a machine can surprise you at 2 AM in winter, it deserves observability.
