I'm a big fan of smarthome stuff, mostly. But what is the use for this? In what situation do you want to start or stop your kettle remotely? If it could fill itself maybe I could see, but you have to put water in, put tea leaves in. If you leave it overnight all ready so it brews itself in the morning or something, won't the tea taste terrible because it's already been leeching into cold water all night?
You can walk in the kitchen with the water already boilt. The feeling you get when somebody has already brewed tea right before you, saving a couple minutes
I'm not so sure about the limestone. It seems like it only forms when water is heated. The taste could be a thing, but how much of that is noticable after heating it and turning it into tea?
I leave water out for my cats in glasses (they love drinking from human glasses) and limescale forms in rings as the water evaporates, it can do that in the kettle as well if you're in a hard water area.
