I wonder why there wasn't a bigger market for home cooking devices integrated with Alexa. Even things like bluetooth temperature sensors would be highly useful, and you could conceivably use Alexa to monitor these devices and let you know if they go outside of your desired thresholds.


Temp-based automation is not (yet?) possible with Alexa Routines, besides Amazon making an exception for the inaccurate temperature sensors in some Echo devices, https://old.reddit.com/r/amazonecho/comments/xbz5f6/how_to_a...

Home Assistant supports some meat thermometers, e.g. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/meater/ & https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/govee_ble/

Even Amazon killed their much-loved (30K reviews!) Alexa Microwave, https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Microwave-Small-Works-Al...

Anova $200 sous-vide cooker has Alexa integration, https://anovaculinary.com/blogs/blog/anova-voice-integration
