like, ok, i can kind of get fridge, like track what's in there or whatever, but a range? i don't understand. why.

do they explain why at all or do they just say they have a wi-fi range

I think it will be cool once all the dust settles and theres a iot standard so I can have like lights and heat controlled from a standard place. I don't really care about fridgeputers but theres plenty of home automation stuff that would be a nice to have once its streamlined.

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

they have a amazon echo clone here in china made by jd, which is china's version of amazon, and a bunch of "smart devices" integrate into it so they can be voice controlled. there's a few voice controlled microwave ovens, which makes no sense to me because you can't use a microwave without physically being there anyway, and there's even a voice controlled toilet

easily turning on your range remotely seems like a really bad idea

so instead of hoping that someone's bluetooth toilet is default to 0000 now I can just stand outside their apartment and scream FLUSH in mandarin?

neat

i guess so. i don't actually know what commands are available to it because i don't know anyone who bought one
