Questions You Can Ask
What is my oven’s temperature? (Oven must be cooking)
What is the temperature of the food in my oven? (Needs the food probe inserted)
Notes
The responses Alexa gives are controlled by Amazon. We can’t edit or change these.
If you try cooking with the door open, the skill detects this, and prevents you from starting the cook until the door is closed.
If you try cooking to core with a food probe, but the probe isn’t connected, the skill will ask you to connect the probe.
For these last two notes above please note: There is a current PVT Firmware bug that prevents quick detection of the door closing/opening or probe being inserted/removed. This is known with a fix being worked. Currently it can take up to 5 minutes to detect these event. Or, if you open the app and then try the command again, this forces the oven to update state.
I thought it would be as easy as Alexa app>more>skills, search for ‘Anova’, add skill. But I don’t see an Anova skill in my results. U.K.-based so unsure if the Anova skill is regionally available.
There is a ‘home connect oven’ skill but it seems more general.
This doesn’t work: "What is the temperature of the food in my oven? ". I get the oven temperature instead. Yes, the probe is connected. Yes, it shows in the app.
Has the Alexa skill stopped working for anyone else? My oven is connected to my app properly and the Alexa skill is enabled and the Alexa discovered the oven, however any command to Alexa returns “Hmm…Anova Precision Oven is not responding.” This used to work flawlessly, now not at all.
I reached out to Anova support this morning and they said that they just pushed out new firmware 2.1.7 and asked me to try that. Which I did and doesn’t fix the issue.
i’m still waiting for a kindle app, let alone alexa skill for the original sous vide precision cooker, count yourself lucky, I had to buy myself a new phone only to find the app connectivity was excrement (dual band modem as it runs on 2.5 ghz signal) …what i’d have given to have it at all let alone gone for a week.
(been running it manually ever since with the app as a temp reference point)
