Smart Thermometer Docks

The Range OI Connects Old Ovens To Your Smartphone or Smartwatch

— July 22, 2014 — Lifestyle
This smart thermometer connects your smartphone to old grills. The Range OI is ideal if you do not plan on replacing your existing barbecue anytime soon, as it turns any cooker into a smart one. From Super Mechanical, the Range OI is currently seeking finances via crowdfunding platform via a Kickstarter campaign.

The system enabling this smart thermometer consists of a bluetooth enabled thermometer that is compatible with any oven and an app for smartphones or smartwatches. The thermometer sits in a dock that is able to tell whether the oven is on or off, or even pre-heating or cooling down. The app can also send you notifications about your cooker's temperature. Without the dock, the thermometer functions like the original Range line, which accurately determines food temperature.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Thermometers - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the development of smart thermometers that can connect to smartphones and improve the cooking experience.
2. Internet of Things in the Kitchen - Potential for disruptive innovation in integrating smart technology into kitchen appliances, such as ovens and grills, to enhance convenience and control.
3. Crowdfunding for Kitchen Gadgets - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in using crowdfunding platforms to finance and launch innovative kitchen gadgets and smart devices.
Industry Implications
1. Smart Home Appliances - Smart thermometers and other kitchen gadgets are driving the growth of the smart home appliances industry.
2. Mobile App Development - Development of companion apps for smart thermometers and kitchen appliances presents new opportunities for innovative mobile app developers.
3. Crowdfunding Platforms - The rise of crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter provides entrepreneurs with a disruptive way to finance and launch kitchen gadgets and smart devices.
