Connecting an oven to the internet seems like an unimaginably bad idea. Even used as advertised this is horrible. Saying "Pre-heat your oven before you get home!" as if a running oven in an empty house isn't just asking to burn the place down.
Who'd-a thunk that attaching an internet connection to a heating element could be a bad idea?
In all seriousness, my (full-size) oven takes 7 minutes to pre-heat. From the much smaller size of this thing, I can only assume it takes less time. What sort of life do you have to lead where being able to tap a button <5 minutes from your house to get the oven ready is a selling point? The pre-heat time is usually offset by the time taken to prepare the food to go into the oven.
This is a toy, plain and simple. Solution looking for a problem.
The only feature I'd like on my oven, is if an electric hob doesn't have a pan on it for 5-10 minutes.. turn itself off.. On my oven there is no indicator on the hob, I've left it on once and almost injured myself, and my other half has left it on for about 5 hours while we watched films in the other room, I only noticed it because of the heat radiating from it

1. Get home 2. Preheat oven 3. Unwrap pizza 4. Set table (or use restroom) 5. Put pizza in oven
I'm rarely waiting for my oven to heat up, and of the times I am, a smart oven wouldn't help.
