Remote connectivity of household appliances via the internet offers many conveniences and features that could dominate a given type of product. For example, imagine a stove that can be turned on remotely by the consumer. Of concern is if the stove is unexpectedly turned on without the consumer's knowledge, creating a potential hazard. The risk profile of many in-home products is arguably different if they are powered on when the consumer is present versus if the unit is powered on without the knowledge or supervision of someone present.
