Comment on Xiaomi's timer app tries to be cool and fails at functionality.

In SmartLife app the dial will need to hover toward the number slowly and have to stop, where the selected number then turn bold before it consider the number selected, else it will just select the previous number if you do it fast enough.

I wish I had a dial in SmartLife for my kettle instead of the slider bar. It’s very hard to pick the right temp, and it always drops the temp by 1F. Want 204F? Better pick 205F.
Also there’s two bars with no explanation. One is set_temp, the other is temp_boiling. Took me a bit to figure out that set_temp is to heat to a specific temp while temp_boiling is to heat to boiling and then cool to the value you set (minus 1F, ofc).
And on top of that, it’s not possible to start heating without at least a minimum 1h of heat time from the app. If you do it from the kettle directly it doesn’t do this at all, but the app defaults to 8h and you can drop it to 1h. For anything other than 212F, I use the app because the dial is bugging out and jumps all over randomly on temp.
