After asking for refund, it was immediately advised per PayPal. I don´t have to send back the oven from Germany. Maybe somebody can apply me the fixed firmware and I can still use the oven, even without warranty.
what happens if you login bu apple or google and therefore dont have a password?

in that case, you can use the alternative log-in by getting a refresh token manually. Click on “How to” on the web tool page
I wish I could try this
Thank you Simon for contributing this app, and I’ll take a look.
But a word of warning to everyone:
Be very cautious of entering your username and password, or any kind of authentication token into any unknown app.
Especially if it’s your Google ID or Facebook ID that you use to access other systems.
We’re all angry and frustrated. Don’t let that be a vector for something worse.
That’s a wise warning. Feel free to inspect the HTML source or check the GitHub repo to see exactly how this works.
I have no interest in accessing your oven recipes…
I’ve placed a disclaimer only on the login feature of the web tool, as it sends your Anova email and password through a proxy (to work around modern browser’s CORS security policy) and then directly to Anova/Google to obtain a login token. This tool does not allow to login with Google IDs or Facebook IDs directly, only with an Anova account.
If you fetch the token manually, as described in the “How To” guide, you’ll skip this step and rely solely on Anova’s servers. However, this method may be a bit more cumbersome for some users.
I tried to make this tool as privacy-friendly as possible, but I had to cut some corners.
Cheers, Simon

HI spmonepsp, thanks for creating this tool! However it didn’t work for me. I followed the instructions carefully. Did it work for most others or are there some where it never works?
Can I download the log easily somehow? It’s too long to copy paste well.
What should I look for at each stage of the process in the JSON?
I did see the 202 version, then saw the blue button and clicked it several times. Then I tapped the screen of the oven every 10 minutes for an hour. Then I waited and came back in the morning. The screen was still black so I unplugged the oven and plugged it back in. The logo appears for a short time and then the screen is still black.
Is it OK that I see this?
“powerMains”: 0,
“powerHertz”: 0
And some additional info that could be useful. Please let me know what else I should check for.

Thank you for contributing this. I seem to have connected to the oven according to the log, but I don’t see an update button. Is there anything else I can try?
got mine to 11_207_1.2.17.00.00.00 after many attempts now it “sees” the oven and wants to update to 11_208_1.2.10_01.01.14 but that keeps losing connection.
Will see if I can follow the tool, ran it in chrome as advised but it wont let me copy the keys and they are long, is there any other way to access the code other than chrome - like safari or Edge?
So connected hit the blue button and I get an explosion of code but scrolling back it says
Fetching firmware manifest
Sending OTA command
Sent OTA command etc etc
Message received
{“command”: “RESPONSE”,

was that the “OK” to which you were referring ?
Its “updatedTimestamp” is updating every so many seconds in Zulu Time but I will give the screen a tap do I just leave it and it will update overnight?
Hi, what did you do to get onto the 207 firmware?
Same question
no idea. I just kept trying and trying. the app kept saying “updating” but no progress report and eventually would time out or just stop, after one of these sessions I noticed the 207 firmware which had ended in some numbers now ended in 00.00 as the anova support had advised and the app reported 208 as the next update and thats where I am stuck. The app keeps saying install 208 then updating, then either times out or loses the connection. Sometimes is loses the oven as well. I’, currently connected via Simon’s GitHub tool and the oven is giving me updated timestamps in the log. I’ve pressed the blue button about five times but it doesnt update I dont know whether I’m supposed to wait for overnight
Do you mean in the iOS app? Or the Web tool from Simon? How do you trigger a firmware update in the app? Could you explain what you mean when you said you kept trying? I’m a bit confused about the procedure.
I was referring to the iOS App rather than the Web tool. My Oven disappeared from the network, was off for a day, in the end I unplugged it and plugged it back in, waited. Eventually it came back on the network and the iOS app recognised it, tried starting a recipe and it would fail and lose connection. Switch of and unplug, re-plug it in, wait, pop back up on the network, this time I went straight to “more” tab, an alert was their on new firmware, went to that and pressed the update button, got “updating” but no number process indicator just a swirling symbol. Either it would prompt with “connection lost” or it would time out. I just kept doggedly repeating. Talking with Anova support I noticed the “207” firmware with the ending zeros was reported as being my ovens firmware and the 208 update was the one it was trying to install. It never managed it BTW (see my reply to Simon) - hope thats clear. My old Anova 1.0 is in the kitchen on another account, the 2.0 is on a desk near the router.
I didn’t use the full method in the tool to get the tokens, I used chrome with the plugin you suggested (Given the length of the key that is a must I would say) to copy and took BOTH keys from the website. Yes the auth token expires but you still have time to paste it in and get access that way. My ovens display has returned!! clicked the blue button a couple of times (see other post) then again at midnight, sat there listening to an audio book, tapping the screen every 10 mins, sure enough the display came to life showing the progress of the 208 update installed and rebooted. I can now use the oven
BUT it’s “no internet”, has the correct SSID but says “no internet”. The App cant see it. I think I shall leave it on for a while and see if it comes back as it did when it was “Mr faceless”. Will keep the group posted on progress.

Great! Another oven has come back from the dead 
At this point, since you are already on the 208 update, you could run a factory reset from the oven interface and go through the connection wizard again. Or maybe just reboot the oven? Might be a temporary connection issue
yeah I was having problems with it doing this from out of the box, it would last a day or so and I would have to re-pair it, although sometimes on and off would fix the issue. I’ll probably leave it a while see if it comes back.
