We're closer to the stove, kind of. At least with things like Tovala. I've never actually met someone with one though.

I really wish we could just get a thermal imager integration for a stove which could catch a pot of boiling water about to boil over and back off the heat automatically.

Electric kettles have done this for decades. The tech is also in sous vide machines.

Best we can do is Wifi to set your timer.
