I have one of these, and I use it just fine without an app fwiw

you never know for sure until you try though, so if it requires an app, it's dead to me and I don't trust anything else the company makes.

if it has an API i get very wet very fast.

About two phone changes ago I never reinstalled the anova app.

It's like pressing the buttons on top of the cooker with extra steps.

That’s fair, but the point I was trying to make was that I have tried and, for the one I’ve got at least, the app isn’t required. I’m not trying to defend them or anything, I just thought it was worth mentioning.

Tbh I’m kinda glad it doesn’t have an API, because I’d end up wasting a lot of time playing with it haha.

see, if it had an API, I could integrate it into an open smart home app, and it would be cool as FUCK.
