This was described in a comment on #149, and I thought it would be a good idea to add it here so it's not forgotten:

Basically the idea is use a cheap BLE meat thermometer with several inputs ( @faisalhusain007 mentioned one with 6 probes for $20 ) as meat thermometers to PiFire. Someone could use this in a build instead of using the onboard ADC. PiFire would then make the values available via its webapp and use them for cooking modes that utilize the meat probes.

This is definitely still in the queue. I had recently come up with the concept of 'transient' probes which is more-or-less implemented in the latest development branch. This would allow a probe device to be transient, meaning not always there which might be the case with a bluetooth device. That said, I haven't yet purchased any of these devices nor have I invested time to dig into the code to support them yet. In summary... it's coming someday, but don't hold your breath for it to happen soon.

For the "Meater" bluetooth probes there is a python library here. It works quite well. https://github.com/nathanfaber/meaterble

All - This is now implemented on the development branch (v1.9.0). Just pushed the Meater Pro support yesterday. It's still very experimental, but if you have any Meaters (I do not, so I am not really able to test), please give it a spin and let me know.
