# anova-wifi — A package to get read only data from Anova precision cookers with wifi

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 75.6K/mo

## 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.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Communicate with Anova precision cookers over WiFi to read device state and send cooking commands like start, stop, and parameter updates.

Yes, if you own a WiFi-enabled Anova cooker and need programmatic control. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. The single dependency is standard and low-friction. Verify that your specific device model is supported and that the Python 3.14.2+ requirement fits your environment.

## Install

pip install anova-wifi
uv add anova-wifi
poetry add anova-wifi

## Installing anova-wifi

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency. Active maintenance as of 2026-08-10.

License in practice: MIT license permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for commercial and private projects.

Quickstart:

pip install anova-wifi

from anova_wifi import APCWifiDevice

device = APCWifiDevice(ip_address)
await device.start_cook(target_temperature, cook_time_seconds, temperature_unit)

Requires Python 3.14.2 or later (and below 4.0.0); device must be on the same network and accessible by IP address.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package supports all Anova device models or only specific ones (pro/a3-a8 mentioned).
- Real-world reliability and latency characteristics when controlling devices remotely.
- Whether state synchronization is guaranteed or advisory only in practice.
