Don’t get me wrong, the link between the hob and the vent is perfect when you connect them directly. Since I “abandoned” the connection through the cloud it works smooth every time and both products are great.
But like you said for the washing machines is the same for the ventilation, it starts automatically when you start cooking on the hob and it sets the intensity according to how much damp there is. In that way it’s smart enough and it really doesn’t need more smart automation so if you find the same without Home Connect and it’s cheaper, then it’s an easy choice…
The only thing I could’ve used Homey for is creating a flow: IF vent is on THEN start led-light in kitchen. But then I have the troubles with the connection between hob and vent so I’ll put the light on differently (could use a smart plug perhaps).
Shame that they worked out the coffee machine that way, because it’s almost the only product that really could make advantage of Home Connect.
