I had no idea this existed till now its seems like a great idea. If you have kids its a great way to monitor the water temp so they can not get scalded by hot water. Plus im’ sure it helps with energy efficiency. Even with fracking my utility bills never seem to get cheaper. The one thing that does concern me is what could a person do if they hacked the unit. There are ways though you can protect yourself. I really need to lock down my wifi network better. I think I’m going to only let certain mac addresses join my wifi access point. Cellphone data is good enough and it you need WIFI then why are you vising me in the fireplace. You came to hang out not to Facebook and use Tinder to pick up hot chicks. Sorry went big off topic but here is link to that water heater. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rheem-Performance-Platinum-50-gal-Tall-12-Year-40-000-BTU-Energy-Star-Natural-Gas-Water-Heater-XG50T12DM40U0/204318411

Technology keeps advancing, definitely going to be smarter than us someday.
Very cool yet scary…
Nice invention. You can control lots of stuff with wifi nowadays in your home.
I can control my garage door, bed and some lights in the bedroom with wifi
