AGA's iTotal Control range cooker packs GSM connectivity, lets you pre-heat via SMS or web

[![Image][1] ][2]

There are many options available if you want to control your appliances over [WiFi][3], but how about an oven with its own [SIM][4] card and phone number? That's exactly what AGA has done with its latest kitchen-oriented offering, the iTotal Control range cooker. Regardless of whether you're cooking in one, or all three of its ovens, sending an SMS message to this smart appliance lets you control each one. It even texts you back to confirm whether your commands like "baking oven on" successfully initiate. The cooker naturally works over WiFi as well, giving you an on-screen emulation of its control panel on either your computer's web browser or AGA's iOS and Android apps. An external GSM remote access device -- basically a router / modem -- connects to the appliance to make it all happen, with cellular service provided by Orange. Ready to get cooking? The iTotal Control is set to sell for a hefty base-price of £10,090 (~$15,826), and you'll also be tied to a one-year contract with [Orange][5] for £5.95 (~$9) a month to enable the texting functionality. Simmer over the details at the source link below.
