# Smartphone-Controlled Ovens The AGA iTotal Control Stove Runs Off a SIM Card By Sarah Nazim | Published 2012-06-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aga-itotal-control-stove References: [agaliving](http://www.agaliving.com/our-products/aga-total-control/aga-itotal-control.aspx) & [brit.co](http://www.brit.co/living/control-your-oven-via-text-message/) This remarkably futuristic oven, called the AGA iTotal Control, works from the convenience of a smartphone, tablet or any cell phone via text message. There is also a dedicated website that you can access, should you not have your cell handy. The oven is actually equipped with a SIM card, and this allows you to control the heat settings from anywhere. So for example, right before work in the morning, you can throw in a [pan of chicken and vegetables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agari-cooker) that you plan on eating for dinner. While you are sitting in rush hour traffic, you can load the AGA [smartphone app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermomix-tm7) and start the cooking process, so by the time you get home, your meal is ready. As if this oven wasn't cool enough, its [modernly sleek design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-oven) is an added bonus. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Home Appliances:** Create opportunities for innovation in other home appliances that can be controlled remotely via smartphones. - **Internet of Things (iot) in Kitchen Appliances:** Explore ways to incorporate IoT technology into kitchen appliances for easier remote control and monitoring. - **Convenience and Time-saving Technologies:** Identify opportunities to develop technologies that save time and simplify everyday tasks for consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliances:** The home appliance industry can explore integrating smartphone-controlled features into a wide range of products. - **Smart Kitchen Appliances:** Develop smart kitchen appliances that offer remote monitoring and control capabilities. - **Meal Prep and Cooking Services:** Create innovative meal prep and cooking services that utilize smartphone-controlled appliances and offer time-saving solutions for busy individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Food-Monitoring Smart Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anova-precision-oven-20.md) - [Intelligent AI-Based Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haier.md) - [Light-Powered Countertop Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-countertop-oven.md) - [Camera-Equipped Induction Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slidein-induction-range.md) - [Cloud-Connected Industrial Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-oven.md) - [AI-Powered Cooking Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-oven.md) - [Livestream-Capable Wall Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bespoke-ai-oven.md) - [App-Paired Cooktop Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tramontina-guru.md) - [Air Sous Vide Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-nx9100d-bespoke-gas-range.md)
