my microwave doesnt need wifi its a fucking microwave

A rather neat feature is scanning the barcode of an item with the phone app and the heating program is set automatically.

But setting the time automatically using ntp would have been enough for me.

I'm guessing that the way it works is it's sending the barcode number to the microwave supplier, the supplier sends it to 5738 vendors who have legitimate interest in updating the profile they already have on you, then the heating programme is sent back to you. The same heating programme is described on the package you already hold in your hands. Fingers crossed that your microwave is getting security updates, if not, someone could be downloading all data from your laptop because they got into your network using a microwave. That is the reality of IoT.

I just wish my microwave could have a Facebook login.

How many screen taps does it take to scan your food and send it to the microwave vs typing in the time like normal?

"Smart" microwave might be generally helpful, but a lot of them aren't for some reason, they went the first step of connecting to wifi and stopped there. Getting notification when ready or setting specific time and program via google voice instead of fiddling with controls is genuinely useful stuff that I would love to have
