[Electronics-talk] Crockpot with WeMo

Mon Sep 21 00:32:17 UTC 2015

Hello,

Thank you for sharing this information.  This sounds pretty cool.  I just
looked on Amazon for the WeMo enabled Crock Pot.  A 6 quart model is listed
for $116.  Is this the price in most places?  This seems a little high for a
crockpot.  Amazon listed another 6 quart non-WeMo model for around $30.  Is
the WeMo worth that much extra?

Pleas know I am not being critical of this thread.  I am happy to know that
appliances are beginning to include universal accessible control systems.
I'm just not sure I would spend $80 extra on a Crock Pot.  Now, I would love
a microwave with this kind of function.  A Crockpot is pretty accessible
without any mods.Wheras, microwaves and other similar appliances have
complicated controls which would be greatly benefitted by WeMo as I
understand the system.

Thanks.

Warmest Regards,

Fred
