Internet enabled central heating control is the *best*, especially if you work away during the week. I wouldn't be without it now.

Most expensive kettle on Amazon:

£900 - with 22ct gold decoration, a proper contractor's kettle.



No reviews? Hmmmmm.....

Quite possibly the best looking kettle...ever

Not my cup of tea (boom boom).

God, if that's good looking, I'd hate to see your missus

I find this IoT thing complete bollocks.

IoT isn't about fridges. Idiot.

If that's all you burnt then i'd say it was a result.

I had one of these for nearly forty years.

..until the wife dropped it.
It's still in my list of things to fix, just a little seam weld and it'll be good as new.

- that and a firmware upgrade....

If you weren't such a good looking bastard yourself, i'd have told you to feck off. However, there is this as an alternative:

another kettle

At the end of the day, it's a kettle - if you stuck a pair of tits on it then you'd never get SWMBO to make you a brew

All the decades of design innovation and the decide to make the first Wi-Fi kettle the worst looking pile of crap I think I've ever seen. That gonna put off even the tech geeks surely.

If I walk into a room, I don't want the kettle to boil (I've been away for a month and it's full of green stuff or worse, it's empty - bang!), I don't want the tv to switch to my favourite station (Oops, sorry Vicar), I don't want the stereo to play my favourite music (It's ******* three am), or the lights to switch on (Oooh! Naked!), or off(Owww). The cooker doesn't need to cook my favourite meal(OK, it can't), the fridge doesn't need to bleat that there's something off in there (three am again).

The majority of it is thought up by grown-up kids playing 'wouldn't it be great if.....' without thinking out a proper business case, use cases, the possible unintended consequences.

It's like walking into a bar and the barman has already poured 'my' pint. I really hate that.

Worst thing is, I'm working on IoT stuff.......
