Jet fluid pro is on the supported list. You'll just need a speed sensor to put on your bike if you don't have one already. They make ones that broadcast ANT+ or bluetooth. If you have an IOS phone you can use our mobile app to connect bluetooth sensors to Zwift without the need for an ANT dongle.
To be honest, I'm not sure how that works. I assume you still need a laptop hooked up to your TV to see the avatar and enjoy the virtual immersion of the experience, but if the phone is the device communicating with your trainer then does the phone also sync with your laptop via wifi or what?
@

This seems to answer my question, the phone acts as a bluetooth bridge that is also tethered to your computer. This seems to be the easiest solution, as there are generic BT speed sensors on ebay for ~$20.
