You will need a wifi connection to use this type of kettle. This is so you can connect it to your phone and then be able to control it with this. According to Paul, 'People who love smart tech, already own a smart speaker or two, can appreciate the little conveniences smart homes bring, and can justify the cost' might find a smart kettle useful.
One of the best things you can use smart home technology for is controlling your home’s central heating system, as well as when your water is heated up. Adding a smart thermostat can save you a lot of money on your energy bill as it will only heat your home when it needs it, and will only fire up your boiler the absolute minimum to heat your home just how you like it. Why is this the ‘best’ one for smart home use? These types of kettles are great for people who have mobility issues. Rather than having to constantly get up and down and walk to the kitchen to turn the kettle on, they can do this from their phone or via voice control. New parents benefit from them too, as when they make up a formula bottle they need to boil the water to 100°C and then let it cool to 70°C. A smart kettle can do both and keep the temperature at 70°C. This can save a lot of time and stress. If you drink tea often, having to constantly lift the hefty kettle can tire your hand. But if you just take a cup now and then, it’s not an issue. One thing that takes up a huge chunk of your time when you’re a new parent is making the endless stream of baby bottles up, at just the right temperature. One of the iKettle’s best smart kettle features is the handy Formula Mode, which can help you by remotely preparing the water at the perfect temperature for your baby’s bottle. Night feeds just got a little bit easier. Smart Device Features There aren't that many app-connected kettles on the market, still, but if you're trying to choose between them, here are some questions to help you figure things out. How much water do you generally need to boil?Many smart kettles, the Swan Alexa included, allow you to set a daily schedule, meaning you can wake up to freshly boiled water ready for your morning brew. This could be handy if your life is pretty hectic, or even if you just can't function properly before the first coffee of the day.
A wifi kettle is connected to your network and allows you to turn it on remotely via an app or voice control. Unfortunately in Australia we have a limited range of smart kettles with wifi. The Best Smart Kettles Available in Australia Finally, we have the Xiaomi Mi Kettle. This is very different from the iKettle in terms of how it works as it puts a huge emphasis on it’s keep-warm function. The kettle will boil your water to a set temperature and maintain that temperature for a set period of time.I love the double sided viewing windows. You can see inside whether you hold the kettle with your right or left hand. What it Does Best Different smart kettles have different features but most have a few basic things in common: they allow for precise temperature control, to keep your water or tea warm for a set time after you heat it, and in terms of capacity, they are all pretty close. That said, here are some of the main features of electric smart kettles for your smart home: The Appkettle doesn’t have any voice assistant support such as Alexa or Google Home which is a major downside for me. However, you can still create schedules if you want boiling water waiting for you when you wake up or get home from work. It’s easy to get tied up in technical side of things with smart products, but don’t forget the basics when choosing the best smart kettle for your home. A good kettle should have a glass ‘window’ that lets you see how much water is in there. Some of the better ones have a double window that lets you see in both sides. Speaking of the app, it uses the AppKettle app which is available for iPhone and Android. You can easily boil the kettle from the app and it provides a countdown timer that gives you a rough idea of when it will reach the desired temperature.
Activating the keep-warm setting - much like the standby setting, you might be able to keep your water warm for a certain period of time. One customer says that it “is worth the money for the combination of Wi-Fi convenience plus sheer quality.” If you love technology and tea equally, then a smart kettle is a great way to smarten up your kitchen. As well as boiling the kettle with your voice, you can add the kettle to routines so that it’s ready to use when you get up in the morning. The kettle itself has a stunning design. It is finished in brushed stainless steel that looks great on your kitchen counter. It has viewing windows on both sides so you can easily see what’s going on whether you are left or right handed.The companion app is used to set the correct temperature, with various pre-determined options for making tea, preparing baby milk, making rice flour, etc. You can also determine how long you want the kettle to maintain this temperature between 1-12 hours. If you’re wondering whether something as simple as a kettle needs smart controls, you’re probably not alone. It’s hard to give a definitive answer, but it’s helpful to look at what’s possible. Once it’s hooked up to SmartThings, you can use the app to activate the keep-warm and Baby Bottle features or to select any target temperature in 1℃ increments, from 40℃ to 100℃. While that is more fine-grained than you get from the physical controls, most users will be happy enough with the base’s 10℃ intervals. SmartThings’ scheduling features might be of more use. There, you can create one-off, repeat or regular programmes to heat water with whatever settings you need. For example, you could set a weekday boil for the same time as your alarm, with the keep-warm feature on, ensuring that you’ll eventually stumble downstairs to freshly boiled water. It’s generally easy to use, the double windows are a good idea and the tea temperature settings are super convenient. You descale your kettle exactly the same way, whether it be a smart kettle or a normal kettle. Some smart kettles, such as the Alexa Swan, will tell you when your kettle needs descaling, which is particularly useful if you live in a hard water area and need a kettle to reduce limescale.
