You can set the temperature and the cook time on the device without having the app at all. The biggest benefit of the app is that you get a notice when the water is to temperature, which for certain more sensitive foods is needed to put the food in. (If you're doing a 24 hour slow cook, it's not really needed, but if you're trying to do something with more precise cooking lengths, you don't want the variance of starting water temp affecting how long the food is in the bath.)

Friendly reminder for others that you can setup this quite easily with home assistant and conditional notification alerts. I do it with my govee. Open. Source. Everything.

I looked into that and you need to build a Bluetooth bridge out of a ESP32. Pretty easy once you have the dev platform set up, but not for your average Joe.

There is an anova integration, but depends on their cloud service. When they stop supporting old devices, they will no longer function.

That's what I understand anyway.

No mine connects right to my pi with Bluetooth already present. Just bridge and go!

Is there a bridge? I'd definitely be interested in that.

Just need to configure Bluetooth and the govee integration.

Whoa! Really! That would be awesome. I couldn't find it at all last time I had it out. Interesting it would use govee though. Is there something special I'd have to do to set that up?
