Comment on my smart hot air fryer, every single time

  PHILIPS HD9880/90 Airfryer Combi XXL. I can select a recipe in the app and send it, so the settings are perfect for that.

  But the downside is that it goes off like a smoke detector and blocks all controls and display until I rate the recipe or select “skip”, on the air fryer display.

    Man, it amazes me how much worse smart devices are compared to the “basic” version. I have to press buttons on my air fryer to get it going, but it only ever tells at me to put food in and turn it before telling me to eat it.

        Oh man, this drips of Fallout: New Vegas - The Big Empty or whatever where the machines around the house would talk to you.

      Mine also beeps and has to push a bunch of buttons. I have to hit a button to turn it on then off as well as a timer if I choose to use it. It’s also part of my oven so I have to open the door and put in a tray. It beeps when it’s at the temperature and if I do decide to use the timer. It’s so annoying.

      But seriously why are people using smart appliances? I’ve yet to see one that’s actually good.

        But seriously why are people using smart appliances? I’ve yet to see one that’s actually good.

        If I’m being honest, I totally understand the appeal, in concept. Like, it would be nice for my washer/dryer/food machine to be able to ping me when it’s done or let me see certain stats/metrics/maintenance things remotely.

        But corpo “smart” devices are rarely giving you much useful info while also trying you to corpo cloud services that can disappear over night, harvests all kinds of data, forces shitty “features” on you, shows ads or even locks you out entirely if it can’t talk to the mother ship (because fuck you, that’s the manufacturer’s device, peasant scum!), there’s no reason to use them.

        I have a handful of ‘smart’ features in my house, but it’s all local only and uses home assistant because I’m not going to let some corpo scum update some TOS and decide I can’t use my goddamned hardware anymore.

        It does feel delightfully lazy to pick a recipe and send the settings with one tap. But the forced rate-or-skip spoils much of the fun.

        Also basically, it’s time and temperature. It’s not like a Fallout-style robot that cooks complex meals for me. Could do without.

    lol fuck thag noise, literally.
    Unsolder the piezo.

    Pro tip: Since it obviously has wifi or something, it has an FCC id printed somewhere (probably next to the model/serial number).
    Search the fccid.io website for that number and there’ll be photos of its insides which can help you figure out how to open it, know where the piezo is likely to be, and neuter that loud fucker.
    I’ve done a kettle that would beep 80ish dBA everytime it started, it was done, or when you put it back in the base.

    Obviously, unplug it from mains before opening. Insert all applicable disclaimers about not burning down your house or maiming yourself.

      For child toys that beep I used to put some tape on the speaker holes. But my kid used to take it off. You can cut a wire or desolder, but my simpe fix was a glob of glue directly on the speaker it turns it down like 80%. So some sound, but definitely not as annoying.

    No, the true downside is when they stop supporting the app or turn off the servers and it becomes a heavy piece of e-waste…
