Well you just have to learn the lesson of not buying cloud connected smarthome stuff the hard way sometimes.

Yeah, oven is the only one I have, by accident, and it’s disappointing - my goal was induction stove, double oven with air fryer, and ST was the only choice. It’s WiFi only, cloud app only, but there’s an HA integration to the cloud app

Currently I get both ST and HA alerts when my oven is on but that’s the only useful feature. However neither interface works works well with the double oven feature

• Even in ST the timer is always 30 minutes and never moves
• even in ST it’s not clear what is on
• even worse, the app has no extra features. For all the gadgets, it doesn’t offer complex programs like pumpkin pie where you have a series of temp/time combinations
• at least it has a guardrail. I like that you control from the oven that remote access is read only. No one is going to turn my oven on remotely

What the fuck do I need to connect my oven to my smarthome for?

Been running Home Assistant for years. never once have I ever considered adding shit like my oven or fridge. The hell would I learn? Ovens get hot, fridges get cold? I could put a temp sensor in the fridge I guess and it would read the same temp all the time. Unless it is a total POS, it's not going to stop doing the ONE thing it does.
