Exception: Invalid device ID

[DieterKoblenz]

I've copied it from the details page, left anova, the f56-pre part. Tried all variations, still end up with the same error.

[ammarzuberi]

What type of Anova device do you have?

[DieterKoblenz]

The 2nd generation with bluetooth and wifi

same issue for me.
What exactly needs to be provided for the ID?
tried the following
anova f56-a8xxxxx2e8b
f56-a8xxxxx2e8b
a8xxxxx2e8b
I have an Anova Precision Cooker Bluetooth & WI-FI 220v UK Plug:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "anova-run.py", line 3, in <module>
    cooker = AnovaCooker('anova f56-a8xxxxx2e8b')

    self.update_state()

The differences in models might be causing some issues here. My guess is that the API responds differently depending on the device model. Can you post the response for the following request?

https://anovaculinary.io/devices/**your_cooker_id_here**/states/?limit=1&max-age=10s

Feel free to remove the cooker ID from the response.

Can you confirm the device id format please?
anova f56-a8xxxxx2e8b
f56-a8xxxxx2e8b
a8xxxxx2e8b
so far I don't seem to get any results...

Using Talend API Tester on Chrome:

[ammarzuberi]

You have the same app version as me. I have an Anova Pro and my device ID is 22 alphanumeric characters with both upper and lower case letters. I get a JSON response when I make that GET request. What does your device ID look like?

Any chance you'd be willing to share your device ID with me so I can see what's going on? If so, please email it to me. My email address is on my profile.

Hi @ammarzuberi
Can you confirm you're received my email?
What are you findings?

Thanks

[ammarzuberi]

I received and replied to your email. I'll post back with any findings when I have them.

Hi @ammarzuberi
Any luck / findings?

[hurwitzilan]

I'm having a similar problem. Happy to send you my deviceID if it will help :)

[mikeage]

Same problem, same empty JSON, same format of a device ID (anova f56-abcdefabcde). App ersion 3.2.8, model A3, firmware 2.7.7

[lolouk44]

To be honest I've given up on this and I'm instead using a Bluetooth connection

[stjernstrom]

I have the same problem, I've been able to communicate with the API with the help of https://github.com/bmedicke/anova.py but the method of getting the ID and secrete feels like a mess and hoped that this should be more stable.

My first guess was that my account is authenticated with 2FA authentication through google, but I cannot find a way of changing password or changing that :/

I fired up mitmproxy to catch the mobile requests that I then put into postman. I had success with https://api.anovaculinary.com/cookers/{{cooker-id}}?secret={{secret}} where cooker-id = anova%20f56-a0xxxxxxa4. It fails if you don't send the secret (http 401)
