You know I replaced that with a static image years ago, right?

I have a camera aimed at my stove so I can check if I accidentally left the stove on. It never happens but it does give me peace of mind whenever I leave the hoose and get paranoid.

Why do modern stoves/ovens have in multiple ways problematic smart stuff, but no proximity sensors?
idunnololz@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
My stove is a dumb stove. But I’d imagine the reason they dont have it on a smart stove is often times you need to leave things to cook for a while. Eg. Pasta, stews, soups, etc.

An oven is one of the few things I can actually see having an app for being useful. Preheating the oven remotely and getting notified when it is ready sounds really useful.

Tangentially, I often wonder if technology has increased paranoia.
I can imagine someone worried about people following them might notice a lot more ear pieces, or if the increased knowledge of them has made that kind of fear decrease.

I was thinking to install a “smart” power outlet for the very same purpose, but stoves don’t have exactly standard plugs ;)
Then again, we just moved to a flat with induction stove, where it’s not really a big deal.

Our stove is gas unfortunately. It came with the place and it’s wasteful to replace it if it works so I’m stuck with it for a while :/

I put a Shelly uno in mine on the wire that runs thru the control lock buzzer. I used it to turn on the exhaust fan, but you could also set up an alert.
If your range doesn’t have the buzzer, you could retrofit the switches with ones that have the contacts for it.

Maybe someone mentioned this, but I’m sure there’s a million ways to tackle this task through Home Assistant and a cheap sensor. That way you get passive notifications instead of having to actively check.

Come up with a way such that i dont have to take apart the stove and im listening.
