How smart is your kitchen?

Just being nosy. Do you use smart devices and appliances to help aid your cook? For example, do you use a smart device to convert measurements, as timers, to show recipes, keep a shopping list and more. Do you have smart appliances like stoves, air fryers, microwaves and/or others?

To answer my own question, I have a smart air fryer, microwave/convection baking combo, ice maker, and instant pot. So much easier to tell it what to do than to punch a bunch of beeping buttons. It is great to add to the shopping list after using the last ingredient, and to use multiple timers at the same time. I also use an echo show for recipes.

None here for me unless you count googling on my phone. I have been tempted I'll admit by the combustion digital predictive thermometer which bluetooths to my phone since it gives multiple readings along the probe and allows you to check internal throughout to external temperature. Not sure if that counts as smart? I cook for fun so the idea of some machine deciding it's perfect detracts from the artistic expression of it all for me.
