I imagine their 'connected device' pedigree might be the driving factor behind the acquisition? That is to say their producing 'Internet of Things' hardware and software for the kitchen that's more than just a gimmick? Their app has guides built in, so it's the beginning of an ecosystem, if they were able to push it hard enough? Presumably it wouldn't be surprising to see Electrolux or the intact Anova brand bring this to other devices, though of course sous vide with its long cooking times and hands-off approach is probably amongst the most well suited to this approach.
