I would also like the API for my device. I really hope that your competitors wouldn’t do it before you are.
If I would know that other company have an API for their device I would for sure choose them.
Make it happen as soon as possible or you will lost a lot of new customers. But first make sure you will ship devices as promised and second ship the right and ordered devices. A lot of mistakes for a company as you are …
A lot to improve …
I’ve just signed up here to add my voice to this.
My wife would really like an Anova. We have a makeshift solution atm, and would like to develop it. I thought this would be an excellent solution, esp if I could bolt it into the Home automation/monitoring I’m developing at the moment. My first search for api came up with this, and I must admit I’m as disappointed as many of the other contributors to this thread.
Back to the home made/home developed solution I think - cheaper too 
Not when you factor in your time 
+1 on the API for the current model.
New Anova user, and would also love the API to be released!
Seems just absolutely crazy not to allow the community to make the device even better.

Wanted to say that this is the only thing keeping me from getting one. I run a few windows tablet around the house and would love to integrate it in my system.
An API is a must (making a good API is not easy I understand that)
This would be amazing: https://youtu.be/rAi9-f5qsTo
That video is exactly what I want to do, but not with Alexa (OK, Alexa too, just because I can, here’s my coffee maker and Alexa via HomeSeer).
The poster says, and I quote:
I had a chat with Anova about what I was doing, and they asked me if I’d mind not releasing it for approx a month, while they shored up some stuff internally, though they aren’t terribly forthcoming on what exactly.
I suspect that they’re setting up some kind of oauth mechanism to link anova accounts to amazon alexa stuff. this is largely what is needed to allow the average user to use the skill, as otherwise they need to discover the cooker_id and secret somehow.
Here’s hoping the API is getting closer! 
@HunterC, now would be a good time to enlighten us… 
So i just bought one of these today (awaiting delivery - very excited!!) but like so many other people I use windows 10 on all my devcies including my phone.so I also really want the same app that iOS and Android users have or an SDK or API we can use.
Just from reading this I can see it has been 4 MONTHS since people have started asking for this and still nothing, not even a hint of news… this is very disappointing for a new customer, especially when I see how supposedly “integrated” the sous vide is meant to be. I just don’t understand why you ignore the most popular platform in the world - it’s not just all about phones! I use a Windows 10 tablet mounted pernanently in my kitchen for recipes and ordering shopping, programming my coffee machine (etc) so obviously I would love to be able to take control of my sous vide via an app as well.
I am a professional Windows 10 UWP/C# developer and I am offering to write you the app for free (in my spare time) just so I could get this happening for the Windows 10 platform. This would run on any Windows 10 platform including PC’s, tablets, XBox and Windows Phones. I am completely 100% serious about this - I don’t want any money for it, I just enjoy writing apps for cool gadgets like the sous vide and am happy to share it with the community - you have my email if you want to contact me about this 
Hi @nzmike! I have just passed this on to our developers, I will let you know what they say :). We know the windows people are eager for an app.
Still no API?
Haven’t tried it, but there is a Node.js library on GitHub that appears to have reverse engineered both the Bluetooth and REST APIs.
I too am developing a home automation system. Would love to see what you have?
This was my next move; only got my Anova yesterday, but was going to pull apart the Android app and/or see if there was anything of interest between my phone and the connected Anova with a packet monitor. Thanks for the link, REST API would be very useful.
Edit:
“These commands and notes have been extracted from the Anova Culinary app v2.1.0 APK after sniffing traffic from the app.” - Awesome, saved me from having to do the same thing haha.
Hey gang - Just finished chatting with my dev team. Looks like its possible to release an SDK and in the coming weeks will be something we’ll sort out and push to the group.
In the meantime, please list out the feature sets you’re looking for and I’ll communicate it back to the right peeps to see how we can make this a solid release!
What would be good
Open API up so that we can write triggers for WiFi devices to integrate with other home automation (IFTTT.com would be a good start). A Postman collection would also be useful.
SDK to allow PCs with BTLE to start/stop and check progress of a cook without using a phone.
There are a number of people who have reversed the existing protocols, so it’s not like it’s some secret that no-one knows. Putting some effort into this would mean that people are getting accurate information rather than having to work backwards from captured information. Given your customer base (tech-lovers) you have a ready base of users who will take your hardware and add functionality that they want. Other than having to write the specs I don’t see the reticence, as the added functionality will only make the product better.
bump.
I would like to get to the API and an SDK as well.
Basically i want to integrate it with a status screen to monitor the anova. And also be able to integrate it into home automation software like hass.io.
And in the long run being able to create a cooking station that could start and stop one or more anovas.
Basically i can now monitor the Anova from my own system. But it would be far better if it was official. The only thing that should be easy is to get the id and other values needed to hook it up. Perhaps an account page where you could link or fetch the information.
Basically you have most of the stuff in there already so … open it up and make it more complete should not be that far away
I’m thinking about buying one of these devices. I see, though, that it has been nearly a year since an API was requested, and still there is nothing more than a promise “in coming weeks” that is almost four months old. Is there any progress on this, @AlyssaWOAH?
