> Like cruise control on your car, June continually calculates the power needed to maintain a constant temperature

So you say it has a thermostat in it, then?

So you say it's a convection oven, then?

> June sends you a push notification when your food is done. And you can customize your alerts so you aren’t disturbed you when you’re away from home.

So you say I can disable the alert... that tells me dinner is ready... because I'm away from... um. Somebody didn't really think this one through, then?

Having a thermostat is not the same as continuously maintaining a constant temperature. Typical "dumb" ovens have thermostats, but they maintain a rough temperature by turning on, overshooting the target temperature, cutting the heat entirely, dropping substantially under the target temperature, and repeating that cycle.

There's often more than one person who lives in a home and may use an oven. Its quite possible for one of them to be away from home and not want notifications, while another is at home and using the oven.

Ann doesn't want alerts from her oven when she's away from home. Bob, who is at home, will still need to use the oven.
