Abstract
A method for an apparatus to monitor an appliance includes receiving information about a translation of a control knob of the appliance along an axis and a rotation of the control knob around the axis, determining if a first event has occurred based on the information, and, when the first event has occurred, starting a timer and determining if a second event has occurred based on the information before the timer reaches a time interval. The method further includes, when the second event does not occur before the timer reaches the time interval, triggering an alert.
