Which kettle?

["Harrison, Mark (Alliance)" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

This is not "domestic_appliances@xxxxxxx", but a genuine
question:

Consider the following scenario:

- Before I go to bed, I fill up my kettle, and turn it on (at the
kettle), but plugged into a controlled socket.
- In the morning, my HA system turns on the kettle (either at a
predefined time, or 'cos I hit a remote switch).
- I clean my teeth, and go to the loo.
- I go downstairs, the kettle has now boiled.
- I make coffees.

This works fine, until Saturday morning, when:

- ... I clean my teeth, and go to the loo.
- I decide to go back to bed for an hour.
- I go downstairs, the kettle has now boiled.
- Unfortunately it's got to boiling, and thermostat has turned it off.
- It's then cooled down again.

What I therefore need is a kettle with a thermostat that both turns
_off_ at 100degrees, but also back on again when it drops to 95degrees.
It probably also has an on-off switch for use by Joe Punter who doesn't
have a remote controlled socket.

I've not been able to find one, let alone one that also is
"cordless".

Can anyone help?
