You're cooking
It sees you nearby and leaves you alone. No beeping at you mid-stir.
A battery puck that sits above any stove, with no wiring. While you cook it stays quiet. If a burner is hot and nobody's around, it sounds an alarm, and if nobody comes back, it calls your phone.
Early bird $89 for the first 100 backers. Retail $130.

An infrared sensor reads the heat on your cooktop from above. A small 24 GHz radar notices people in the kitchen, even when they're standing still. StoveGuardian only steps in when both answers point the wrong way.
It sees you nearby and leaves you alone. No beeping at you mid-stir.
After a while with nobody around, it sounds a loud alarm. If no one walks up, it calls your phone.
A quick heat check, then straight back to sleep to save battery.
It still wakes on its own now and then to check the burners.
An example of the sequence. The times are illustrative.
Twist the puck onto its magnetic plate above your stove. No plug, no wiring, no electrician.
Join it to your home Wi‑Fi from your phone. You do this once.
It wakes by itself, checks the burners, and goes back to sleep.
Most stove shut-off devices need an electrician or sit between the stove and the outlet. This one runs on 3 AA batteries and mounts in seconds.
The radar sees you in the room, so it won't nag you while you cook.
A beep in an empty house helps nobody. StoveGuardian calls you, your mom, or whoever you pick.
Gas, electric, or induction. It reads heat from above, so the stove itself doesn't need to be smart.
StoveGuardian tells you a stove was left on. It does not turn the stove off, and it does not replace a smoke detector.
Phone calls go through our own calling service, $18 a year. Kickstarter backers get the first year free.
It has been running in our own kitchen on a custom circuit board, with over-the-air firmware updates, while we finish testing.
Planned pledge levels. Shipping is charged separately.
One StoveGuardian, plus a year of calling service.
One StoveGuardian, plus a year of calling service.
One for your kitchen and one for a parent's. A year of calling service on both.
No. It alerts you with a loud alarm and then a phone call. Turning the burner off is still up to a person.
No. The radar can tell someone is in the kitchen, even standing still at the counter, so it stays quiet while you're there.
You choose the number. Many people set it up for a parent who lives alone and have it call their own phone.
The alarm in the kitchen works without Wi‑Fi. The phone call needs Wi‑Fi to reach our calling service.
Yes. It reads heat from above with an infrared sensor, so it works with any cooktop.
About four months after the campaign ends: final board revision and mold order first, then FCC testing and a 20-unit pre-production run, then mass production.
Early-bird units at $89 are limited to the first 100 backers. We'll email you once, on launch day.
