Ok, I can see that, but shouldn’t it be my risk to take in this case (which seems quite a bit less risky than flicking a breaker on remotely when someone other than the app user might be working on it)?
- em-bee 3y agoi surely hope that safety feature is designed in such a way that you can't ever actually turn on the oven without standing in front of it, lest someone is able to break into the system and turn it on without you knowing. the risk is just to great. sure, the benefit of the app at that point is questionable, but the alternative should then be to simply have no app.
- voisin 3y ago> lest someone is able to break into the system and turn it on without you knowing Allow users to set their own unique PINs that they have to type in to unlock the “oven on” command every time they use it. Surely there has to be a tradeoff here where a user can be allowed to be a grown up and make their own decision. I mean, I have to click “I promise not to look at the giant screen on my dashboard while driving” every time I start my car. And what’s the worst case? That my oven is on and wasting money? If it could be set to get so hot that it causes a fire then that’s a totally different issue.
- em-bee 3y agothe most likely scenario is that something is inside the oven that should not be there. and that causes the fire. say you bake something, and then leave it inside to cool off, and then turn the oven back on forgetting that there is still something inside. so turning on should only be possible while you can actually see what is inside.
