Meet Reservoir – The World's Smartest Water Heater

I don't think hot water should be this smart.

The last "intelligent" systems that made sense to me in the home are variable speed HVAC and micro grid / solar / battery stuff.

What is the value add to the customer of making hot water an app that can presumably stop working the next time AWS goes down?

It can misses some sensor readings, boil the water and scalds the user "automatically". Dumb heaters requires the user to "manually" do this, they never do though. P/S: I'd prefer your stop working scenario
