   Are there Zigbee sesnors that can work at high temperatures, like what one might find in a fire place?
   If no, is there something that could be assembled to accomplish it? I dont even really need to know what the temperature is, my main goal is "fire on" vs "fire off".

   Use case: Automation - If the fireplace is in use, ensure the HVAC doesn't try to cool the place.

     @hellomiakoda sounds like a job for a bimetallic strip.

     Might an IR sensor work for you? That way you don't need it to be "in" the high temperature, just pointing at the IR 'bright light'. 🤷
