What it is and what it does
anova-wifi is a Python library for controlling Anova precision cookers over WiFi. It wraps the device's documented command schema and exposes methods to start and stop cooks, as well as update running cook parameters like target temperature and timer. The library uses aiohttp for async network communication and provides state tracking through device push updates.
The package is designed for read-write interaction with WiFi-enabled Anova devices. It reports which commands are valid at any given moment based on device type and current cooking state, though callers must still handle exceptions since state can change between checks and commands. The update_running_cook method is inferred from device behavior rather than published documentation but is confirmed working on real hardware.
Use it for
- Automate sous vide cooking workflows by triggering cooks from external systems or scripts.
- Monitor and log Anova device state over time for analysis or alerting.
- Build a custom control interface or dashboard for managing multiple Anova cookers.
- Integrate Anova devices into home automation or IoT platforms.
- Adjust cooking parameters mid-cook programmatically based on external conditions.
