My friends and family don't understand why I'm so happy with my air fryer notification. (feddit.uk)

"Hur Hur that's what a timer on your phone is for dude"

Yeah but this was a smart plug that was going dusty in a drawer!

Anyway it's not the notification that makes my brain tickle in that special way, but the fact that my HA takes note of who was in the kitchen when the air fryer was started and only notifies the floor with that person on when it's done.

Now I've worked that logic out with a silly Air Fryer notification I can reuse it in all my other automations.

I’d argue an airfryer is better to leave alone then an oven. They turn off on their own, so if you forget about them, it runs its 20 mins or whatever then turns off.

My oven is on for the weekend if I fuck up haha.

The insulation on an oven is 10x that of an air fryer.

…. And sometimes air fryers don’t turn off.

An oven is usually designed to last a decade, an air fryer sometimes only lasts a year.

VERY different build quality standards.

Of course, depends on the oven and the air fryer. Modern ovens have timers and even whole programs.
