A smart range is a stove that connects to your home wi-fi network. Whether you're designing a smart home equipped with all wi-fi enabled home appliances, or if you're looking to explore new cooking modes, a wi-fi connected stove will make cooking so much more enjoyable.
Benefits of a Smart Range
Smart ranges come in all shapes, sizes, and prices. A smart appliance leverages connectivity to enhance your user experience in a meaningful way. Smart ranges have 3 advantages:
- Peace of MindWith remote monitoring your appliance can monitor itself, and send you push notifications when something is happening. Your smart range will tell you if the oven is preheated, or if you leave your house and your oven is still on.
- Simplify an Existing ProcessYour smart range can help you save time, money, and stressful overthinking. In essence your smart cooking appliance will become your sous-chef providing guard rails against failure in the kitchen.
With some smart ranges you can operate your oven from your smart device. If your hands are busy, simply ask your smart speaker to preheat your oven to a desired temperature. - CustomizationYour smart range can give you a custom user-experience. This is especially true with cooking appliances, you can search through hundreds of recipes catered to your dietary needs and preferences.
Are you not sure about convection? Your connected range will then take out the guesswork and ensure that your new dishes are cooked to perfection.
