The wifi ones work with Home Assistant so you won't lose remote features. The bad news is you have to run home assistant and set it up.

As for the BT only version you need more work and a BT proxy. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/anova-ble-control-via-ble-proxy/550295

The original models will. While Home assistant has an Anova integration, it is cloud dependent and it's the cloud that will discontinue support. As I understand it.

Local control uses a Bluetooth bridge which I guess is my next project.

BT Proxy Bridges are super easy to make. Just flash a esp32 with the premade package and power it. I have one on every room of my house just so whatever I have will just work everywhere.

This is lemmy and so I understand it but flashing an esp32 is not super easy for 99.9% of the population.

True but this was in response to the previous post where they stated that are about to make one. My original post I stated the BT proxy is more work.

Yup! I have the stuff, just haven't gotten around to flashing one yet. Working on a wind meter at the moment.
