    I have a camera aimed at my stove so I can check if I accidentally left the stove on. It never happens but it does give me peace of mind whenever I leave the hoose and get paranoid.

      Maybe someone mentioned this, but I’m sure there’s a million ways to tackle this task through Home Assistant and a cheap sensor. That way you get passive notifications instead of having to actively check.

      Why do modern stoves/ovens have in multiple ways problematic smart stuff, but no proximity sensor?

        My stove is a dumb stove. But I’d imagine the reason they dont have it on a smart stove is often times you need to leave things to cook for a while. Eg. Pasta, stews, soups, etc.

        An oven is one of the few things I can actually see having an app for being useful. Preheating the oven remotely and getting notified when it is ready sounds really useful.

      Tangentially, I often wonder if technology has increased paranoia.

      I can imagine someone worried about people following them might notice a lot more ear pieces, or if the increased knowledge of them has made that kind of fear decrease.

      I was thinking to install a “smart” power outlet for the very same purpose, but stoves don’t have exactly standard plugs ;)

      Then again, we just moved to a flat with induction stove, where it’s not really a big deal.
