Me neither. I have an induction burner and would still love this feature on my vent - particularly for smoky steaks or oil fumes - sometimes I forget to turn it on/off.
I think an IR thermometer that activates the vent whenever the cooktop is over ~115F would accomplish this pretty well, provided the switch had a manual override to force it on if the sensor fails.
A quick search indicates they do exist on some pricier models.
I suppose there could be edge cases where the vent could make a stove fire worse by increasing airflow - wonder if these 'smart' vents have logic to handle these cases.
