The real feature I would want from an IoT candle is to be able to turn it off if I leave the house or go to sleep. You have to phyiscally put a lid on this candle to turn it off?
Yes, what they have here is akin to an IoT light bulb that you can turn on but not turn off, with the added bonus that in this case "on" is a safety risk.

I was thinking the same, an off timer could be handy. But you can solve this with a timer and a lid, no need for IoT at all. It feels like we're turning into Wall-E when so many people are too lazy to light a candle or flick a light switch.
