4-Probe WiFi Smart Meat Thermometer
MEATER Block delivers the ultimate BBQ experience. The premium smart meat thermometer features WiFi range, four probes, and the ability to cook multiple proteins to everyone’s preference with different doneness levels. Cook with confidence knowing MEATER Block has your back!
Features
- Longer Range: Bluetooth to WiFi range extension built-in up to 165ft. Stand-Alone Mode: Cook without the use of your smartphone.
- Multiple Probes: Dual temperature sensors in each probe can monitor internal meat temperature up to 212°F and ambient/external temperature up to 527°F simultaneously.
- Guided Cook System: Walks you through every step of the cooking process to guarantee perfect and consistent results. You can also set up custom alerts/notifications based on temperature and/or time.
- Advanced Estimator Algorithm: Estimates how long to cook and rest your food to help plan your meal and manage your time.
- 4 probe clips included
- Micro-USB port to power the Block without AA batteries.*
*Micro-USB connection does not charge AA batteries. Micro-USB cable not included.
How to connect a new Meater probe?
- Place your shiny new Probes 3 & 4 in your 2-Probe MEATER Block.
Pro(be) tip: insert the pointed end to the curved end of the slot first, then slide the square ambient end onto the metal charging plate. - With the Block OFF, let the probes charge for 8+ hours.
- After charging, turn the Block on and select either WiFi or Standalone mode.
- Press the Settings button (the gear icon) and scroll up/down to “Probe Pairing” then tap the center “O” to confirm.
- When the “Pair Probes?” option appears, tap “Yes”.
- Wait for the check marks to appear so the probes pair to your MEATER Block.
- Grab those steaks from the fridge and start cookin’!
*NOTE: If your MEATER Block does NOT have the “Probe Pairing” option, you may need to update the firmware on your Block. Connect the Block to your WiFi via the app and you’ll be prompted to update the firmware.

Building a hardware and software solution to read temperature data from a Bluetooth-connected probe and displaying it in an iPhone app involves several steps. Here’s a general guide to help you get started:
Hardware Components:
- Temperature Probe with Bluetooth Connectivity:
- Choose a temperature probe with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capability.
- Ensure that the probe has relevant documentation with Bluetooth specifications.
- Microcontroller/Development Board:
- Select a microcontroller or development board with BLE support. Examples include Arduino with BLE shields, Raspberry Pi with BLE dongle, or specialized BLE development boards.
- Power Supply:
- Provide a stable power supply for your hardware, considering the power requirements of the microcontroller and Bluetooth module.
Software Components:
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Communication:
- Use a programming language and development environment compatible with your microcontroller.
- Implement BLE communication protocols to establish a connection between the probe and your hardware.
- Data Parsing and Storage:
- Develop code to parse the temperature data received from the probe.
- Store the parsed data in a suitable data structure or format for later retrieval.
- iOS App Development:
- Use Xcode and Swift for iOS app development.
- Implement BLE communication in the app to connect with the hardware.
- Parse the received data and update the app’s interface accordingly.
- User Interface (UI) Design:
- Design a user-friendly interface for the iOS app to display temperature information.
- Include features such as real-time updates, historical data, and any other relevant information.
- Connection Handling:
- Implement error handling and connection management to ensure a reliable connection between the hardware and the iPhone app.
Steps:
- Understand Bluetooth Communication:
- Study the documentation of both the temperature probe and the chosen microcontroller to understand how to establish a BLE connection.
- Set Up Hardware:
- Connect the temperature probe to the microcontroller and provide power.
- Write Firmware:
- Develop firmware for the microcontroller to handle BLE communication and data processing.
- Test Hardware Communication:
- Test the communication between the hardware and the temperature probe to ensure proper functionality.
- Develop iOS App:
- Create an iOS app using Xcode and Swift.
- Implement BLE communication using Core Bluetooth framework.
- Integrate Data Handling:
- Write code in the iOS app to parse and display temperature data received from the hardware.
- User Interface Design:
- Design an intuitive and user-friendly interface for the app.
- Testing:
- Test the entire system to ensure seamless communication between the temperature probe, hardware, and iOS app.
- Optimization:
- Optimize your code for efficiency and consider power consumption.
- Deployment:
- Deploy the system and monitor its performance.
