I'm against stuff like this and totally eschew even offline gadgets, but its not that hard to come up with some use cases.
After you left the house: "Did I turn off the oven? Did I turn off a burner (eg slowly cooking a bean bot)?" Now you can know.
Is a (top or interior or anywhere) burner slowly leaking and should alert the owner? Maybe.
And as you said, pre-heating, though this is actually a feature that makes things more dangerous! If you or someone else was temporarily storing something not-ovenable in the oven and pre-heated remotely, you could come home to something very bad.
- nerdponx 4y agoI'd much rather have the oven connect to a physical device on my home LAN instead, which I could then access through a web interface with a tunneled port or whatever. Same with security cameras, smart lightbulbs, etc. None of this stuff should ever be connecting to the Internet directly.
- rcme 4y agoYou could add a camera to the oven to see what's inside from the app.

- cbm-vic-20 4y agoI wouldn't mind having "read-only" or "make-safe" functionality: in addition to "Did I turn off the oven?" above, things like timer and burner status would be nice. A "Turn off oven NOW" button on an app would be an example of "make-safe". Worst case situation is that your dinner is undercooked.
