If you're lighting them in places you can't reach, that seems to imply that you will not be able to put them out easily either, and it sounds like there is no off switch for this smart candle-- you have to do it by hand.
Warning you when they knock over would be pretty neat though. I hope that feature is implemented in this product.

in places you can’t reach
I am not sure if you’re trolling or serious. Why would anyone want a candle in places they can reach?
Has humanity become so lazy that we have candles at home, but think it is too much effort to find a match and light them???
I think the use case is incredibly obvious.
Exactly the same as lighting! And smells too if you want.
Being IoT it is also safer than candles once you solve the lighting it safely without being able to see it issue. If a cat physically knocks it over it can warn you, normal candles don't.
You could argue it'll make candles more common and cause more fires, but that's a different issue.
