I don't drink tea or coffee (I am fuelled by Diet Coke, always purchased at $1.60 per Litre or less). My wife however drinks a cup of tea every hour. So every hour I am asked to get out of my comfy chair and boil the kettle. (As a married man I live in hope of one day having sex, so I never refuse).

I have searched the internet to find a Google Home-enabled kettle to save me at least 50% of my current chores, but had until recently not found anything suitable for a 240V/10A/50Hz outlet.

Enter Kogan with their SmarterHome kettle. Except when I found it last week, it was $160 plus delivery, so I added it to my wishlist. Today - price has dropped to $49 plus post.

Score! In fact I might even score.

It's Kogan so it may only last 6 months, but it'll be worth it.

UPDATE Thanks for the love guys. Showed this post to my wife (who looked annoyed at my post, but the laughed at all the comments). Had sex. It was good. Just like I remembered.

          Some kettles wont leave the switch down unless it has power

          You want a smart device to do what it is supposed to do everytime. Not just sometimes or when you forget to preplan

      • Astronaut Joe on 27/11/2019 - 08:53

        I'm thinking there is an opportunity here for someone to make an induction cooktop with automation features. Fill the kettle the night before, then when you wake up "Alexa/Google, boil the kettle on the stove".

    • Forphucsake on 26/11/2019 - 19:49

      Most kettles switch the actual heating switch off (I can't think of a better term) once it's boiled. So a smart plug can send power to it but won't be able to actually turn it on it.

      • poporange630 on 26/11/2019 - 20:15

        I do it by turn the smart plug off and turn the boil switch on. The next day the smart plug will turn on in time and boil the water.

          so every time you want to boil water you have to pre press the switch? lol doesnt sound smart to me

            @SimBech: No, hence it's the solution for dumb kettle. At least it will boil me water 7am in the morning so at 8am I can drink it.

            @SimBech: @SimBech: One would assume you access the kettle after you've boiled it, so could easily leave the switch in the on position then

      • testeagles on 26/11/2019 - 20:26
        +2

        But you then need to empty the contents into a tea cup anyway so you will have interaction with the kettle after boil. Rinse repeat.
        This would only work if the button always stays on even without power

    Wifi kettle. I mean how lazy are we becoming that this is an actual issue? Half the time the kettle doesn't have enough water in it, so you need to get up and go to it anyway.

    • corbz on 26/11/2019 - 20:43

      It could be set up with automation/timer, so when you wake up your kettle has just boiled so your coffee is ready to go.

      Eliminates that little bit of decision fatigue. (Not that I could justify spending the money on it).

      Plus some people enjoy automation.

      • raymosaurus on 27/11/2019 - 00:28

        Or you could just start the kettle before your morning wee. Come back and it's coffee time.

        I have a coffee machine but I still need boiled water to preheat my coffee cup. Gotta be HOT.

    Anyone know if it has a sensor in it to detect if it has water in it? I'd be worried I would forget to put water in it, and it would burn out or worse…

    • mingofmongo on 27/11/2019 - 07:40

      From the manual:

      • If the kettle is "ON" without water, the kettle will automatically turn off (the blue indicator light will turn off). Slide the switch downward to the complete OFF position.
  • onetwothreefour on 26/11/2019 - 20:52

    I leave my phone about a metre away from the kettle, I think I'll be able to walk that extra metre to switch it on.

    Have you considered getting a hot water flask? It will reduce the amount of times you have to boil water. If you get a 1.5-2 litre one, you only need to boil the kettle once, make your wife a cup of tea, then fill the hot water flask. When you need it next, the water is already hot and you don't need to wait for the kettle to boil. I used to boil the kettle for a hot drink 3-5 times a day. Now, it's only once a day.

    • lainey13 on 28/11/2019 - 00:26

      This is what I do. I also just top up the same tea leaves so they last for several cups.
      Also how I know boiled water tastes different, drink the water from the flask once it cools down (need 2+ days for a zojirushi) and you can tell it was once boiled.
