Implementation Examples

We maintain an official reference implementation for controlling the Anova Precision® Cooker Mini via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This Python-based command-line utility demonstrates how to interact with the device and provides both one-off commands and an interactive mode.

GitHub Repository​

All code for this implementation is available in our public GitHub repository:

Overview​

This reference implementation provides a versatile tool for controlling the Anova Precision® Cooker Mini. It offers both subcommand operations for quick tasks and an interactive REPL interface for continuous control during cooking sessions.

Key Features​

  • BLE Scanning & Connection: Auto-detects compatible devices by service UUID
  • Dual Control Modes: Use subcommands for quick operations or interactive REPL for continuous control
  • Complete Device Management: Read system information, set temperatures, change units, start/stop cooking
  • Automatic Clock Synchronization: Sets device clock to current UTC time on connection
  • JSON-Based Communication: Robust command and response handling with JSON/base64 encoding
