I'm trying to figure out why the oven is on the internet or open to the phones? generally speaking it is a bad idea to use cooking devices when not at home, so that is a stupid justification. The only other one I have is so you can preheat the oven without getting off the sofa, but really preheating works well while you are prepping whatever you are going to put in the oven. If it is a way to let you know the timer on the over is going off, just have it shut off the oven and putting in a bigger speaker seems an easier and cheaper solution.
