Art project about a cloud connected pan that has a moisture sensor in its handle and charges per wash. If the sensor breaks they sue you for breaking the digital lock.
I think to complete the concept, it needs to have an absurd feature that is supposed to justify connectivity, and a way to stop it from functioning when commanded.
How can a pan break? I guess the handle can fall off? So it has a solenoid that locks on the handle. The pan is sold as a subscription where they replace the pan part to keep it's Teflon coating fresh. And if you mess with it or use it more than 20x the handle falls off.

Don't give landlords new ways of charging tenants.

Pan? You wash your clothes in a pan? 🤔

You don't?
That is common in many places

This is clever.

That's really clever. And dumb in exactly the way Silicon Valley would actually do something like this.

When the solenoid releases the handle it should then weld the lock mechanism so it couldn't be tampered with.

I do not know enough homonyms to be able to understand this shower thought
