General

CAN SMARTURNS BE USED TO TURN OFF MY STOVE

Smarturns is a smart stove monitoring system. It cannot be used to turn off your stove. You will need to perform the shut off manually.

DO I NEED TO HAVE INTERNET ACCESS AND A MOBILE PHONE TO USE SMARTURNS

You do not need to have internet access and a mobile phone to use Smarturns. Without the internet or mobile phone, the Hub will work as an automatic, local alarm to alert the stove user when they are away from the stove for 5 minutes* (default timer). You can always contact technical support at support@tochtech.com to change the default timer. However, without internet access and a mobile phone you will not be able to monitor stove activity remotely.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE INTERNET CONNECTION IS LOST

If the wireless connection to the internet fails, the Smarturns knobs and local hub alarm will continue to work. There is NO impact to the use of stove. However, while the internet connection is lost, new notification messages will not be sent to the mobile phone until the connection is re-established.
