I thought to myself, “Did I leave the oven on?” I checked my phone, I had, and I turned it off without needing to go back home. The fact that most IoT is shit doesn’t make IoT a stupid concept.

> I turned it off Rather you sent a command in hopes that it would turn off, and hopefully it reports back correctly. An IoT oven sounds like the worst possible home attack surface. Especially if it's a gas appliance.

  It’s not an IoT oven, it’s IoT power monitoring and switching. If you turn on the power to the oven that doesn’t turn it on.

  Even just monitoring with no ability to switch would be helpful.

That functionality also allows someone to turn your oven on while you're on holiday, but worth the risk in my opinion.
