I Love it! I built something very similar for a hackathon a few years back. Aside from emitting metrics to a server with a simple real-time graph rendered in a browser, I also had it connected to a janky servo that would lower a tea-bag or loose-leaf tea container only after hitting a target temp (e.g., 180F) and lift the container back out after a target time (e.g 3 minutes). Then I could continue monitoring the graph until the temp dropped down to a non-tongue burning level and it would notify me as well. While neat for a prototype, the setup was too clunky to actually use regularly, but I've often thought about making a nice version of it. A friend of mine also made an actually cool looking build along these lines too. His doesn't emit metrics viewable on a graph, but it uses LED indicators to show temp ranges on the drink stand itself (though I suppose he could always build internet-of-shit integrations in the future, haha). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gJ1Rk6mqHM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gJ1Rk6mqHM
