There are lots of things that can be automated with Thermomix and linked to other devices in the home.
For example, I am able to see the status and time remaining on my two ovens - seeing Thermomix too would be useful if I am not in the kitchen or while entertaining guests.
Or you could link with an extractor fan to switch on when the Thermomix is higher than 70C to reduce condensation.
You might say that someone doesn’t want to cook remotely, however, I have a camera in my oven and I could ‘start’ the Thermomix once the food is cooked to a certain amount (i.e. to use varoma for steaming vegetables). Even better would be to start the Thermomix once the oven gets to X minutes remaining!
