i can see a benefit in actual home automation, but just adding buttons on an app to turn everything on and off adds nothing valuable. they need to put an interface in all this stuff in order to move on to the actual useful part, but in the meantime it's all going to be stupid

cool things that would be nice 2 have:
control oven temp/timer and get notifications from oven
get notifications for complete cycles from washer/dryer/dish washer
turn lights on and off based on programmable criteria
turn heat on and off based on programmable criteria
etc...

nobody wants this:
tweet from your fridge/oven/washer/dryer/dish washer

these are dumb imo. why do you need notifications from an oven, are you like putting things in it to cook and then leaving the house or something. do you really need to know the exact moment that your washer/dryer/dishwasher cycle ends so you can drop everything and go deal with it. i dunno, it seems awfully pointless and dumb.

I always turn the buzzers and stuff off so having a notification on the phone that I can see when I glance at everything else would be nice and it could keep reminding me until I swap it cause sometimes I forget.

oven temp notifications are good for similar scenarios like oh hey you preheated and forgot so heres more reminders or maybe you have a temp probe in a meat and you want to monitor it remotely. yes you can get things that do all this already but having standards around the data being available would be cool.

I'm not gonna go out and replace everything or whatever but w/ eventual replacements over time these would be nice features. nothing critical or anything

Ever since I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as a kid I've wanted a Rube Goldberg-like device that makes breakfast for me. When I wake up I hit a switch and it starts an automated process while I shower and get dressed. By the time I'm ready to eat there's a plate of eggs and pancakes w a glass of OJ waiting for me. When can my internet of things do that.

it makes sense if its one of those refrigerated ovens and you don't know the exact time you'll be home for dinner when you leave in the morning

push notifications from the meat thermometer makes sense, too

not that any of these companies will deliver a device with software that isn't complete garbage

i spend way too much time thinking about automated food prep

there are lots of things to make cooking easier but you still need to refrigerate and prepare your ingredients first
at a minimum you need a device that can refrigerate and then heat something on timer
but a combo oven/fridge is harder to make than screwing a tablet to a fridge

To be able to check and turn off a hob / oven would be great, especially with clumsy people about. Entering a kitchen full of gas is not something anybody wants to do let alone repeat.

We still haven't seen much of the aging baby boomer product set and this fits perfectly into the assisted living realm.

they're called breakfast machines and they're basically toaster/coffeemakers w/ a place for an egg or a place for bacon/sausage

i don't think amazon carries them anymore tho

oh, my, god. Becky, look at her bitrate.
here's how you make a washing machine that is good

1) it has three buttons and one dial.
2) one button is hot, one is cold, and one is on.
3) the dial is for time
4) it comes with a printout of all of those symbols and what they mean

actually no we're samsung let's make itso it's all touchscreen and wifi connected so if you don't have wifi it won't work and it's also outdated in a year when samsung stops updating it

the place we're renting has a mismatched pair of w/d and the dryer is like from the mid 80s and the washer is maybe 10 years old and the drum is broken so it's super loud but the landlords are like "it still works, when it breaks you can replace it!"

the old waifu's dad is at CES now, as an appliance salesman so we're hoping he brings home a couple of those new $15,000/pair w/d combos

we had smart laundry at school which was great because the laundry room was far away and you could just check online if there were machines free before schlepping your poo poo over and you could check to see if your poo poo was done yet when you forgot to set a timer

this was in 2007 tho
