Official MEATER API about meaterble HOT 5 OPEN

@nojacko Any chance of releasing a document that describes the bluetooth protocol between the probes, block and app, so that these devices could be made to work with Home Assistant and ESPHome's Bluetooth Proxy support? Would be very nice to slap a "Works with Home Assistant" sticker on the product, wouldn't it?

local functionality would be nice especially given some of the issues the cloud has been having with stability. i did a cook yesterday that showed the cloud stopped returning data twice for around 10 minutes each time throughout the 4 hour duration of the cook. the app and block never had a problem but the home assistant integration which uses the cloud api could not deliver data during those two windows. that has sort of been my experience every time i've used it.

I’d literally pay money for the ability to tell the block to communicate with something local and/or the ability for the probes to be read by a Home Assistant Bluetooth Proxy in addition to the block so that stock things work in parallel to Home Assistant.

Contact Meater, if they are willing to share their local BLE API documentation we can integrate it in OpenMQTTGateway

@nojacko I don't want to use the cloud, I want to use the device locally and preserve my privacy. Can you just release the spec or an opensource Python library?

Fact is all the "smart" devices are pushing users to use internet APIs because they want to gather data and sell it to advertisers. It's a dishonest biz practice. You sell us a product, and if it's not enough $, then raise the price. Don't push us to use buggy internet APIs for a bluetooth device.
