The "why" isn't important (read "doesn't exist"), but I want to take a regular (dumb) rice cooker, and convert it into a "smart" rice cooker. The "why" isn't important (read "doesn't exist"), but I want to take a regular old "dumb" rice cooker, and convert it into a "smart" rice cooker.
So, a whim and a few minutes on Aliexpress later, my pint sized rice cooker and an assortment of electronics are on the slow boat from China. So, a whim and a few minutes on Aliexpress later, my pint sized rice cooker and an assortment of electronics are on the slow boat from China.

While I have dabbled with Arduino before, this is a far more ambitious project than I have yet done. While I have dabbled with Arduino before, this is a far more ambitious project than I have yet done.
Ideally, I will have the rice cooker serve an API, which my Orance Pi will bounce requests across to as dictated by a frontend hosted on the same machine (this avoids CORS mess). Ideally, I will have the rice cooker serve an API, which my Orange Pi will bounce requests across to as dictated by a frontend hosted on the same machine (this resolves CORS, while still allowing options to control the rice cooker by other devices).
For now though, I am away from home, working, so I can't do anything on this for at least another 2 weeks, probably 3.
Many of my parts have arrived (rice cooker, thermistors, relay, and NodeMCU), so once I get home, I can hit the ground running.
