Do I need an oven with Wi-Fi connectivity?
A Wi-Fi connection might not be on the shortlist of features you want from an oven, but the convenience it brings to your cooking might just change your mind.
There’s no doubt that our homes are getting smarter. Like washing machines and dishwashers, ovens have seen major technology developments over the last few years.
With the internet being so enmeshed in our daily lives, it makes sense that Wi-Fi connected ovens are becoming staples in modern homes. Not only do Wi-Fi connected ovens help your meals turn out perfectly, but they can be easily controlled with your smart device. We’re going to answer some common questions about Wi-Fi connected ovens and how they can take your cooking to the next level.
How does a Wi-Fi connected oven work?
All NEFF Wi-Fi enabled appliances, including our ovens, can be managed via the Home Connect app. Simply download it, pair your oven over a Wi-Fi connection and then manage it via your smartphone or tablet. Once the oven is paired over Wi-Fi (a one-off action), you can operate the app from your mobile no matter if you’re at home or on the go, just as long as your oven connected to your home Wi-Fi network. It can also be controlled from multiple smart devices, so you can get your partner to help with the cooking too!
The best part is that all ovens in the new Flex Design range are compatible with the Home Connect app. So not only will you have a seamless combination with your oven pairings, but you can also have a seamless cooking experience with the Home Connect app!
What can a Wi-Fi connected oven do?
Smart ovens can revolutionise how you spend your time in the kitchen. Preheating, controlling the temperature and finding the right baking time all from your phone or tablet.
For example, if you’re in the middle of watching your favourite show but you have to pre-heat your oven, you can just do it from your phone instead of getting up to do it physically. Of if you’re ever had that sinking feeling that you’ve left home and not turned off the oven, you can just check your device to see the oven’s status and turn it off remotely. It’s that simple.
What other benefits are there?
If you’ve got messy hands while prepping dinner and forgot to turn on the oven, then never fear. With a Wi-Fi connected oven you can ask your smart home device, like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistance, to turn on your oven. Missing some ingredients? Not a problem – the Home Connect app allows you to create a shopping list or order the missing ingredients directly within it.
The app can also provide you with cooking tips, videos and plenty of new recipes tailored specially to your oven and it’s compatible with Google and Amazon Alexa devices. You can also seamlessly send the cooking times and temperatures of each recipe directly to your smart oven, making the whole process even easier.
