@JDRoberts Thanks! I just figured it out - you have to keep hitting Done over and over after you set it up.
I feel silly, but it’s also not a great interface. Thanks!

Hi Folks, just an update on the Smartthings sensor. It seems to take a while to pick up the temp. over the stove, so that’s a bit of a downside. I was thinking about possibly drilling a few holes in the outer plastic to see if that helps.
Drilling will just be more likely to confuse it. It’s probably the reporting parameters.
Like most battery operated sensors, this is a sleepy device. It sleeps most of the time, then wakes up and checks current values against its reporting parameters. If the Delta is larger than what it supposed to report, it reports, and goes back to sleep. Otherwise it just goes back to sleep.
The home energy monitor v1 can be found for $20-$30. Problem solved.
My point was that the house could be completely engulfed in flames for about 10 minutes before this device started reporting that it was over 90degrees at the stove. I need something that is a bit more sensitive and responsive. however, putting a plastic box close enough to the stove is not practical - and the oven hood can get a bit greasy, so I’m worried it will drop off unless I put a screw into the mount which I don’t really want to do at this point (using double sided tape). I may still drill a hole and see if it makes it more responsive.
Is there anyway we can rewrite a open/close sensor to a “on light” on the stove?
you are lucky you have that light on on your cooktop. I am about to buy
new stove. What is the brand that has that light on? thanx
Thermador 6 burner. I switched over to a wemo insight switch. I had a motion sensor in the kitchen and connected it to Numerics via ifttt which worked great and sent an SMS whoever left in with no movement. Finally had it working just right and Numerics (think that was the name) went broke and shut down. So now I can manually see if there is power but can’t get an alert.
Thanks, Thermadors are too reach and too wide for me.
Is Numerics was a temperature sensor? or it was kind of power monitoring device?
I am thinking to link temp and motion sensor via ST to notify me or activate quiet beeping of sort, or strobe in the corridor, so nobody leaves the house while it flashing without checking on stove. Not sure if Temp sensor will be precise to handle it and can be tuned for one small burner to monitor, especially with the season changes. Unfortunatelly, I cant find any regular gas range (and I am ready to buy a new one) with any kind of signal from the working cook top (like yours stove lights).
Damn, just cant find reliable solution for this. Thanks for IFTTT tip, now I know what it is and may use it in the future.
Thanks again, any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Could you tell me a model of your range? I am about to buy new one and would love to have that feature.
The only problem- it will not work during power outage. right?
It was an old Kenmore gas range. I don’t know if any modern range has this lockout feature. Some GE ranges do, but they only lockout the oven, not the gas burners. We had to replace our Kenmore with a Samsung, so we don’t have the lockout on our new range anymore The remote power cutoff worked great with the old stove.
What are you using as your logic detector for this? Standard Routines?
Hey Guys. It happened to me when I left one of the gas burners lit and went for a game. Luckily my daughter was at home and we caught it early. And it made me think all night and came up with this simple solution, I have put it on one burner but will expand soon.
I used a Xiaomi door sensor to find it the knob is at off position and as it rotates put the magnet off limit and opens the sensor. I am monitoring that with a smartthings security custom application.
The main sensor is just at the bottom of the knob and I used a round earth magnet and pasted it inside the knob See two photos below
This is how it looks.
