Why does one need to press the Smart Control button on the oven physically to activate the use of oven via SmartThings app remotely? Should I not have the option to be connected all the time? Or atleast, activate connection remotely via app?
I work late hours and we want to have food kept in the oven, which I can later heat up before getting up from my desk and having it. This just doesn’t seem to support it!
Disappointed with this latest purchase.
I cant answer the logic behind why certain choices have been made. I can however state that their is a solution to just about every automation scenario currently.
If there is truly a button to push then grab a Switchbot (or a similar thing)button pusher and solve your problem. Doesn’t matter if its a normal button or capacitive. Works great.
I integrate that in routine that uses an Aqara Temp monitor near the vent on my Xbox series X. If the temp gets too high then it triggers the button pusher and that switches on a second fan.
Why is it even possible to turn on an oven remotely??? Who in their right mind would come up with such an idea???

It doesn’t sound unreasonable as long as there is a suitable alternative for those who have difficulty pressing buttons. It means that someone has been present and has hopefully checked that everything that should be and nothing that shouldn’t be is in the oven before ‘arming’ it.
I must admit to a reservation about your use case but that’s beside the point and I might have misunderstood it. If you do press the button on the oven to enable remote control what disables it? Presumably someone opening the oven door would, but is there a time limit? It just seems that if there is food in the oven someone must have had the chance to press the remote control button.
I can confirm, what @orangebucket stated:
If you put your food in the oven and close the oven door,
then press the oven button for smartcontrol (and the oven is connected to your wifi and samsung account obviously),
then do not open the door again before starting the oven to heat,
then you will be able to start the oven via your Smartthings app or voice control.
Works every time. Havent noticed a time limit.
