Announcing Alexa for Anova Precision® Oven

Updated

Let Alexa be your sous chef.

Once Alexa's been paired with your Anova Precision® Oven, there are all kinds of voice prompts you can use to control your Oven. Whether you're busy handling other tasks at hand, or just don't feel like getting up from the couch, Alexa and Anova are ready to make thing's even easier in your kitchen. Ready to get started? Let's go!

Setting up Alexa with your Anova Precision® Oven

    1. In the Alexa app on your iOS/Android, go to "More->Skills & Games->Search"
    2. Search for "Anova"
    3. Tap the "Anova Oven" skill.
    4. Tap "ENABLE SKILL" to link with your Anova email/account.
    5. Once linked, tap "DISCOVER DEVICES."
    6. If your oven is on, connected to WiFi, and is connected to your Anova account, you should see that Alexa found your oven.

Easy as that. You're now connected and ready to say "Alexa, " followed by any of the following questions or commands:

Questions You Can Ask Alexa

  • What is my oven's temperature? (Oven must be cooking)
  • What is the temperature of the food in my oven? (Needs the food probe inserted)
  • When is the food done in my oven? (If a timer is set)
  • Is my oven on?

Cooking Notifications

Alexa will announce the following, if notifications are turned on for the oven:

  • Your oven has preheated (when starting a cook that has a preheat stage as the first stage).
  • Your food has reached target temperature (when using the food probe and a food target temperature).
  • Your food in the oven is ready (when using a timer in the last stage and the timer expires).

**To turn Notifications on for the oven, open the Alexa app and go to the Oven device. Toggle or turn on the Notification option for the oven and select which Alexa device(s) the announcements should speak from.**

Other Notes and Disclaimers:

  • The responses Alexa gives are controlled by Amazon. We can't edit or change these.
  • If you try cooking with the door open, the skill detects this, and prevents you from starting the cook until the door is closed.
  • If you try cooking to core with a food probe, but the probe isn't connected, the skill will ask you to connect the probe.
