The big hurdle we would have to overcome would be communication; the more dense a material is, the more it can blog wireless signals. Metal in particular can stop communication completely. So right now, while we do have a Temperature Sensor available, we really wouldn't recommend it for inside a fridge or freezer.
You should work on refrigerator/freezer temperature sensors. it would be easy to have a thermocouple that has a wire thin enough to enter a fridge door and not disrupt the magnetic seal very much. then the sensor could be outside the box. I sure wish I'd had a couple of these last week when our fridge compressor went out.
I have had a temp sensor inside my refrigerator for about a month, and it works perfectly. The fridge is located 10-12 feet from my base station. I suggest you try it and see if it works in your situation.
