I was hoping for a minute that the IOT device was a connected teapot...

I solved this with a WeMo plug, which gives me an app and alexa control. Used for electric hair iron of wife, and coffee pot as backup plan with timeout setting, and also saving us driving back home for the "did you unplug the iron" moments.

Both appliances actually have their own auto-off, but I like redundancy.

But does it respond to HTCPCP?
Unfortunately my flat is too small for me to justify a networked kettle...yet ;)
