That'd be a legit feature, but far less involved than a full-on smart oven. At most, it'd have a way to turn off the oven remotely (but not turn it on).

Anyway, last time I had this anxiety, I checked my Ring camera in the kitchen that's posted there for reasons like this. Works for the stove and faucet too.

While I have neither, I'd much rather use a smart oven to see its status than have a constant camera feed of my kitchen.

It's not constant, it only starts recording when I ask it to. Mainly cause it's on battery. Also, it's just an observer, not controlling anything in the house.

A simple timer that switches off after a couple of hours would do. The timer could reset every time the oven door is opened. This should solve most issues. Long cooking could have a bypass button or somethong (if the door open reset is not enough).

I just remembered many old analog electrical ovens had this already , the only way to turn on the oven is by setting a timer (and when you needed it on for many hours you had to set another timer for yourself to remember to extend the oven timer ).

Even if you left the oven on, I believe it’s very unlikely to burn down the house.

These devices are designed to work for hours with minimal supervision. Given the size of the user base, IMO ovens are extremely reliable. And electricity prices are too low to be anxious about the costs.

I wish. A while back, I put some (food) stuff to dry in the oven on a very low heat, knowing it would take all night to dry fully. After six hours, the oven decided that I must have accidentally left it on by mistake, and switched off automatically, and that stuff was wrecked when I got up in the morning and checked on it.

Indeed. I don't think I've ever heard of an oven burning down a house. And given how pretty much everyone has one, there must be many ovens left on alone in the house at every given moment.

If you think the oven can burn the house down, how about the anxiety of trusting some companies IoT oven not to be exploited by script kiddies to burn your house down?
