Good day everyone, how is your long weekend? Must be enjoying with your family or close ones. In fact, I was on holiday with my family at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and they were celebrating the 61st National Day of Malaysia. It was a grand celebration especially when you get to see people from different races come together and put their differences aside to make sure everyone is enjoying the birthday of Malaysia.
While we were there, we stayed in a hotel and as you know, all the basic necessities are available to us. Then as we use their kettle to cook water, I was wondering if there is any smart kettle that makes part of IoT more interesting to the smart homes. So after I have gone back to my home, I try to find out more of this smart kettle and this is what information that I have.
What Is A Smart Kettle
Usually early in the morning, at the moment when you awake, you would like your coffee to be readily available to you. It's like having a personal barista in your home, ready to take your order. Well, the Internet of Things which we like to call it IoT has push the boundaries of what it can do, what it can help us to enjoy that first sip of coffee as soon as we roll out of bed. A smart kettle is a fantastic (almost magical) device, that boils whenever you tell it to – or whenever a certain chain of events trigger.
How Does It Work?
Ok, so it isn’t actually magic. It’s a complicated combination of wires, technology, and a motherboard or two that makes this WiFi kettle work. All you need to know, is how fantastically simple it is to use. It can actually be
- Connects to with WiFi
- Connects to Alexa, IFTTT
- Can be controlled by Nest, Phillips Hue, and Hive
- Can be operated via an Android or iOS app
On the base, is where you have your controls for the Power Switch, WiFi Toggle, Temperature Control, and Keep Warm functions. With the LED display, you can clearly see what temperature you have it set to. it remembers the previous temperature it boiled to – fantastic if you need water of a specific temperature (such as for heating baby bottles). As you can set the temperature your kettle boils to, you make it much more energy efficient, as they are no longer boiling for boilings sake.
Why Do You Want A Smart Kettle?
Now there will always be a question where we will ask why would we choose to have a kettle on the WiFi when we could just switch it on at the wall? Actually it makes our life easier. As long as there is water, we will have hot drinks no matter where we are. We really can boil your kettle no matter the distance since the WiFI and IoT are everywhere. We’re always connected to the smart kettle. Ideal for when we are nearly home, about to leave the office or are too tired to get out of bed and wait for it to boil. With volume sensing, it uniquely starts water heating before the time scheduled, ready for when you arrive.
Should We Invest In Smart Kettle?
The beauty of a smart kettle is how you can connect it to everything. And I mean everything. With the innovative use of IFTTT, you can set it so your kettle will start boiling when your Phillips Hue lights switch on. Or when your Nest SmartStat senses your home is getting a little chilly, and a hot drink wouldn’t go amiss. You can even set it to boil if you get tagged in a photo on Facebook. For tech lovers, this smart kettle is a dream and the latest addition in creating a fully connected home.
