re: The Smart Kitchen
LOS ANGELES -- GE unveiled its newest Monogram appliance at the Dwell on Design trade show today, introducing consumers to a new, ultra-high-end French door wall oven that promises sophistication and smarts, too. Like the GE Profile wall oven we reviewed earlier this year, you'll have full remote control over temperature and cooking time through GE's Brillion app, available for Android and iOS devices.
...
Of course, GE is keeping smart features in the mix, while Samsung's Chef Collection, interestingly enough, is not. These features include basic remote functionality through the GE Brillion app, which impressed us when we played around with it earlier this year. With Brillion, you'll be able to do things like program custom cooking cycles or set the oven to start preheating before you get home from work.
c|net: Ultra-high-end kitchen smarts from the GE Monogram French Door Wall Oven (June 19, 2014)
In the kitchen I'm a cast-iron sort of fellow, and this $5K wall oven really isn't in my universe of probability.
One "smart feature" that I might be interested in would be the ability to check whether my oven was on. Shortly after I'd left for vacation. To be able to turn it off in that circumstance, even once, would be worth ... something. But this is still not the sort of low-hanging ... fruit that we will see Apple action on soon.
