Micro:bit TrackingThings Heat Alarm

This is a micro:bit heat alarm. It uses heat sensors to detect heat (obviously) in the environment around it. When the environment gets to a temperature higher than the micro:bit's threshold, it starts to beep and sends a message, saying: "Turn on the AC!". I made this because I was running out of ideas for projects, so I got some inspirations from the micro:bit site.
Supplies
1 micro:bit
1 LiPo battery
A phone or PC (for programming)
Programming (Part 1)

Since you need to program the micro:bit before you use it, I will give a short explanation on how to do so. First, get an electronic device like a phone or computer. Then, visit the makecode site or download the micro:bit app to start coding.
Programming (Part 2)

The code needed to run the program is here:
Instructions/Manual

To make the device, all you have to do is plug in the LiPo battery into the micro:bit
...Yeah, it really is that simple.
Manual:
To show the temperature, press Button A on the micro:bit
To clear the screen, press Button B on the micro:bit
To reset the micro:bit, press the Reset Button on the back of the micro:bit
To shut off the micro:bit, unplug the battery
