Anova Sous Vide Integration

Nice! Congratulations :slight_smile:

I have a fairly old model, I think it was their first wifi and bluetooth model.

I can connect to it from their app over wifi. When you add it from their app, it’s the bottom most selection called the “Percision(R) Cooker Bluetooth or Wi-Fi”

When I try and add the integration, I get the error message “No devices were found. Make sure you have at least one Anova device online.”

I realize the app didn’t say it worked with this model, but I have attempted to test it anyway incase their API was able to still talk to it.

If you need any information if you want to try and support this cooker as well, I can try and help.

I have the same model, but get “Invalid authentication” error instead.

To be fair, I’m not 100% sure of the password, as its been a LONG time since I set up the app.

I went to the Avona website to attempt a password recovery, but instead of being asked for a password, it sent a 6 digit code to my email to log in on the site and I don’t see any way of changing/resetting the password.

So, I guess I’m out of luck with this one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@SuperSean That’s super annoying. I would think there has to be some way to change the password, maybe down the line I can reverse engineer their code login and use that as an auth method

I had this same problem, I think it was because I had my account linked to a facebook login, so there wasn’t any authentication done via Anova… (meaning Anova won’t store a password for that method) I ended up deleting my account from the app, and creating a new one, this time having a password. It was annoying, but I think I understand from the technical side if they are using OAuth and don’t store a password for someone who created their account that way.

@zimmer62 @Lash-L
Thanks. Will have another look once I have sorted my dashboard

I’m not sure if I would have used FB as I don’t use that for much more than APIs and messenger… However account would have been set up well before Avona was bought by Electrolux in 2017, so anything is possible I guess.

@Lash-L
Attempted to connect again, using both community addon and HACS install

Originally received the ‘No devices found’ error message and on next attempts, was back to the ‘Invalid authentication’ error.

No errors show in HA Core logs, and no Anova logs seem to have been generated (possibly because addon does not finish setup/install?)

I have the HACS version up & running and thought I’ll switch over to the official one - I wanted to keep the HACS version until I was sure the new one would work, so I just disabled it.

Now when I try to add the new integration I end up with this error message:

Error

Config flow could not be loaded: {“message”:“Invalid handler specified”}

Do I need to delete the old integration first?
As I’m in the same boat a s a few others here, i.e. I don’t remember the password, I’d lke to make sure that the new integration works before I delete the old one.

Any hints?

Did anything ever happen with getting the APO (oven) integrated with this? Would absolutely love to integrate my oven into Home Assistant, and happy to get my hands dirty coding too if necessary.

P.S. @mcolyer you’re amazing. How on earth did you manage to document that API? Was messing about with it in my spare time for ages and got nowhere :sweat_smile:

@Lash-L , great job on this integration and thank you! Is there an ETA on control functionally?

Hello
I can’t seem to be able to control my sous vide. Are you able to advise on how to turn it on? all i can see are the sensors reporting the temperature etc
Thank you

Hi there, just bought the new Precision COOKER 3.0.
This one is not yet on the compatibility list, however, is it planned to add it?

Thanks!

I have exactly the same issue with the same model. Support would be great! :slight_smile:

did you try to connect it? and by bought you dont mean you were in a beta? :wink:

I also have the precision 3 and am getting the error:

No devices were found. Make sure you have at least one Anova device online.

I haven’t checked the logs yet, but i’ll come back and post if I find time to check into it.

I only want to confirm, I have the exact same problem with the Anova Precision Cooker 3.0 sous vide, AN525-EU00

Hi there, today I gave it another shot. This time I was able to authenticate through the Anova integration within HomeAssistant, but I cannot see my Anova Precision Cooker 3.0. So the integration is connected, but no sign of my device…

I guess it is still not supported :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Curious what the state of this is. As many may or may not be aware Anova has been sending out an “All good things must come to an end” message saying they will be dropping app support for their original Gen 1 Sous Vide units next year, meaning the original Bluetooth only one and the original BLE/WiFi one. I know these don’t work with this integration to begin with and at this point the only effort worthwhile would be a local option, since apparently they will no longer work with Anova’s own app sometime next year.

As part of that announcement they are offering 50% off the 3rd gen version, which personally I think is pretty poor, to be quite honest, as I really see it as a lateral replacement than some huge upgrade. I have several of the originals 1 BT only and 2 BT/WiFi ones, one of the latter happened to die just recently. I have 2 setup all the time, mostly one to cook and one to defrost, but sometimes both cooking. Anyway, I just bought 2 of the Pro models largely because of this integration, and reviews talking about he better build quality of them. I actually looked first for a Tuya alternative but didn’t really see anything that looked like it was built to the same standard in anything resembling a reasonable price, even compared to the more expensive Pro model.

When I tried to add them it only picked up 1 of them, the active one in the app and the first one added, which I guess isn’t all that surprising since it’s using the Anova cloud API which in the app only sees one at a time. Not sure which is the trigger, though first in the list or active one. Switching to the 2nd one as the active unit doesn’t seem to do anything, just says it’s already configured.

I have a bunch of questions here;

Can I have multiple units integrated, maybe via some yaml file addition?

Can there be multiple instances of the integration? If multiple units cannot be seen by one instance, can you have multiple instances of the integration with multiple accounts with one cooker each?

Is control of these in the works? Preferably local, but even through the API would be a huge improvement.

The original units “claimed” integration with an Alexa skill that never really worked and was eventually pulled. So 5 years or so later it would be awesome to finally have that. “Set Temp” and “Turn On” are really the important bits, given the warm up time for these, “timer”, “off” and maybe “C/F” or anything else are far less important since I personally have never had the need remotely turn it off, or ever wanted it to turn off at some predetermined time that I would not be present, and who regularly changes between Fahrenheit and Celsius?

It would be awesome if I could control these, well multiple of these, through voice. Which control by HA will just provide, if present. Local control would be even awesomer given the fact that Anova has demonstrated now their logic that “all good things must come to an end”.

For those here who own an anova nano, there’s now working support here: GitHub - mcolyer/hacs-anova-nano: Add support for Anova Nano devices to Home Assistant.

It hasn’t been accepted to HACS yet but you can install it manually for now.
