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.
