After yesterday, the June smart oven that was able to warm up remotely with Wi-Fi had a terrible thing.

Around 2:30 in the morning, it was silently heated in a user’s home, and while the user was still sleeping, the oven temperature exceeded 200 degrees Celsius.

His home surveillance camera shines through the oven to illuminate the entire dark kitchen. But he woke up after four hours to find out.

The Verge First reported this Accident, and then caused everyone to “roastA lot of attention to the box intelligent crisis.

June Smart Oven first launched in 2015, The second generation version has been released > In addition to the basic oven function, it uses cameras and computer vision to identify food in the oven and lets people use the app to remotely warm up and monitor food.

With the smart oven, people can not only heat food, see food, ensure they are baked to the desired level, but also can be heated live by mobile phone.

But like the beginning, technology is like a double-edged sword. Remote control with a mobile phone can also cause security problems that cannot be ignored.

But fortunately, the June smart oven didn’t cause a fire. The company also did not cover up the fact that the smart oven poses a threat if it is accidentally opened.

June’s CEO Matt Van Horn said , the main cause of the accident was because the user opened their mobile phone without knowing it, and the oven was accidentally activated to warm up:

The owner may click on the content while closing the app before going to bed, or accidentally turn on the warm-up when viewing the recipe in the app.

But this is not the first time a similar accident has occurred in a smart oven.

In May and June of this year, there were at least three accident posts on Facebook that caused the oven to automatically open due to remote warm-up. And there are more than just the reasons for the mistakes, and one of them also “launched” the switch because of Amazon’s Alexa assistant.

So many users now pull out the oven while sleeping or going out for 100% safety reasons.

Matt Van Horn says they are working hard to resolve this Question.

The team will release a fix in September that allows users to disable remote warm-up, but by default it still allows remote boot warm-up.

In June next year, they will introduce a new smart oven that can identify the presence of food in the oven through the camera sensor. If there is no food, the heating elements in the oven will automatically stop working.

The New York City Fire Department says that 33% of current home fires are caused by “unattended cooking,” which usually occurs in fires. Next to the stove or oven, it is more flammable due to flammable items such as paper towels, food, and grease.

But more and more manufacturers are following the trend of “smart home” and launching a smart oven similar to remote control. This accident is also a warning brought by the intelligentization of household products: about if we are dealing with future products. Automated security issues.

Or can also think that although automation is a visible trend, we are smart for intelligence.

In some smart home devices that may bring uncontrollable hidden dangers, if there is not enough security control mechanism, you don’t need to be intelligent every device, or just add some necessary intelligent functions. After all, some The potential risks hidden by devices may be greater than the impact of intelligence on people.
