We have a GE Café series range with two ovens and while the induction cooktop has regular dials, the only way to control the ovens is via a touchscreen. I also use the Smart HQ app and in some ways it has actually become better and I would agree that it works well, however, I still don’t understand why not all functions of the oven are available in the app. For example, I can select either the upper or lower oven and I can then select the temperature and also the mode, e.g. bake, convection bake, roast etc. I can also set a timer and obviously press start. However, the lower oven has additional “options” like proof (for letting yeast dough rise), and there is also the self-clean option and probably a few others I can’t remember. Either they are so hidden in the app that I can’t find them, but I really believe they are simply not available from the app.
As for Siri integration that is not an option, however, you are supposed to set up Alexa to work with it. I tried and in the very beginning I sort of got it working for a bit, but when I tried it again a while back I added the skill, but it somehow wasn’t working. There also is the little issue that in order for Smart HQ to work with the oven (not sure how it is with other appliances), on my oven I have to press an “enable Wi-Fi” or something like that. This is of course on the touchscreen, but when we first got the oven about four and a half years ago my wife put a tactile dot just above where you have to touch and I can locate it and then just lightly touch elow it, there is a series of beeps and it’s usually not too difficult to get it to where the app then sees the oven. Maybe on newer models or other appliances this is no longer required.
