I already have that, it's my phone. I don't need a second device to respond to "Set a timer"

I do.
If my phone's in my pocket, it won't hear. If it's in my bag, it won't hear.
Or it sets the timer, but then a kid grabs my phone for something and leaves it upstairs were I won't hear it.
There's something to be said for a voice-activated timer in your kitchen that is always in your kitchen and never leaves your kitchen.

That the oven timer is oven adjacent seems a must.
