This is the worst part about all this smart phone junk and cooking. It's normalising leaving the room and then cooking something remotely a bit too much.

It all depends. Getting notified for time consuming things is great.

Having my smoker self-manage its temperature and graph the amount of heat it's dumped in is nice. Checking on the temperature ramp of the sous vide is nice, too.

Is blending time-consuming? I guess peanut butter takes a couple minutes, most blending is < 40s IME.

I was just speaking about those specific cases. Running the smoker is a 8-20 hour endeavor. Sous vide is 2-6 usually. Smart devices are kinda nice for this.
