I'm really confused why "turn off my stove" would be the presumed functionality. Someone must've lied to them because no stoves do that. Otherwise, why would they suddenly assume that's what a timer was doing?
I know its functionality I have never seen before on a hob or oven. Microwaves do but their timer is required to turn it on in the first place.
I've used stoves with that functionality, you can select what it applies to with a button.
Really? Who made it?
I don't know, I don't live there anymore.

I've seen that functionality on an oven (Inc mine, though I don't use it). I've never seen it on a hob before.
My oven has a cook time timer and a standard timer. The cook time ending turns off the oven while the standard one doesn't.
Oven, sure. But I've never seen a stovetop that does that.
I can control my Samsung oven and fridge (came with the house) entirely from my phone.
