About
A simple yet highly effective, Mobile phone managed, electric kitchen range or commercial grade oven and stovetop monitoring system. Entirely automated, SafeOven was designed as a safety device and intended to help protect you, your family, Airbnb Hosts, and guests from injury as well as your home or property from unwanted fires. Life is full of many dangers and distractions, it is time you take your oven and stove off the list of things you have to worry about.
Every four minutes a house burns to the ground because of a stove. We want to make this statistic nonexistent, or at least minimize it with household automation.
We offer our customers peace of mind through quality, ease of use, and effortless installation. After ordering your oven monitoring unit, simply plug it into a power outlet, plug the other end into your stove, pair with the phone app, and go. It will start playing brief notification noises when electric range unit is on without any other set up. To set up your SafeOven mobile phone settings follow the included instructions or call us for set up assistance. Once completely automated, you will never have to worry about your oven again, it is made to last the lifetime of your oven and beyond.
Did I turn off the stove?
You can shut off the stove remotely using your phone.
SafeOven detects when the stove knob is turned on and notifies you.
Flexible arms
Simply bend the cables to fit SafeOven behind or underneath your stove.
Compatible plugs
SafeOven is compatible with the two dominant high-current plugs in the united states, Canada, and other countries. These plugs are called NEMA 1050-R and NEMA 1450-R and both of them are rated for 50 Amps at 250V AC. After we receive the orders from Kickstarter, We will reach out to you to see which type is used in your kitchen. Usually, Older houses (1980's and older) use 1050-R and newer houses use 1450-R.
Project timeline
Prototyping
It is a difficult task to make sure that what you build is what users want and love. So many times we had to go back to the drawing board after we realized that what we built was not what our users wanted. This included both hardware and software. While it is easier to iterate software and make it better and deploy it for all the users simultaneously, it’s much more difficult to iterate hardware. We designed the hardware in such a way that the interface is only implemented via the mobile app so the user does not have to directly interact with the hardware. Today, we have a versatile device that can be updated over the air to instantly make the product better. Don’t be surprised if your SafeOven keeps getting new buttons and features that you’d love to see.

Risks and challenges
We've developed dozens of finalized and fully functional prototypes for testing and display. We've secured the manufacturing partners who will produce SafeOven at scale. In addition, we have some manufacturing capacity in our shop that we'll use to accelerate our delivery.
Even though we have done our best to set up the processes to create a great experience for our backers, we understand that introducing a new product to the market has its challenges and things don’t always go as planned. We promise to be fully transparent about the issues that may come up and work very hard to resolve them quickly.
Manufacturing risks: The supply chain is sometimes unpredictable. Tariffs or supplier issues can affect the delivery dates, but we have identified a few suppliers for our key parts just in case we experience a problem with one of them. In addition, we have built an initial inventory of those parts to have some buffer.
Certifications: We have successfully received our FCC certificate. We are in the process of getting our CE and OSHA recognized certificates and do not anticipate any problems along the way.
As we work hard to deliver you the best product, we promise you that we will transparently share with you any issues that we face and when and how we will solve it.
