Nah, won't count. That's the redneck solution. I want the geek solution - a true internet of things. A smart coffee machine knows when I wake up and want coffee, learns from my daily behavior and gives me remote control, etc. The logical things. But, not for $500 or more :P obviously.You can plug in a special plug to the wall which you can power on through your phone. I don't know that it would make the coffee for you yet though.
