@aOne are you certain that it has an output that emulates a thermocouple? Something to watch out for is that the thermocouple daughter board is designed to work with isolated thermocouples, and if that sensor does provide a thermocouple-compatible output then it is unlikely to be isolated.
Here's one that provides Modbus output: https://www.calex.co.uk/product/temperature-measurement/infrared-temperature-sensors/pyrominibus/. Note, we don't currently support Modbus devices directly as sensors although I am likely to add this support soon. Meanwhile they can be read using M260.1 commands.
