I have one that is useful, and can think of one other.
You can tell your Sky recorder to record a program from your phone via an app, which could be useful - if there was enough worth watching to actually record something...

I have a WiFi Sous Vide, so in theory I could set it going on my way home, and have food ready when I walked in. Which is good, and useful. But ... the software is a pile of sheep poo. Basically for me it only works if I am in the same room, as soon as the phone sleeps - which it does often - the WiFi link breaks and you have to reestablish it via Bluetooth to get it working again. Which means pressing a button on the actual unit, negating the whole sodding idea.
They are apparently working on this. But then, they have been for months so I'm not expecting results at all soon ...
