HUUUUUGE upgrade from our gas range

My wife picked up baking and started making a variety of goodies, and this convection oven couldn't have come at a better time! So far we've used the "Convection Bake" and "Air Fry" options the most, both are right on point. The "Convection Convert" feature is a nice touch to quickly take 25-degree off the set temperature in "Convection Bake". Another honorable mention is the "Convection Roast", that cooks a big chicken evenly (think breast and drumstick.A little trick we've learned to avoid losing too much heat (because although the convection fan shuts off when the door is open, there's enough inertia to keep the fan going for a good 5 seconds) is to only open the door enough to trigger the light, and wait for the convection fan to come to a stop before opening the oven door further - otherwise you could be losing 20-30 degree of preheated air from the convection fan blowing the hot air straight out the oven door.There's one thing with the oven that I didn't expect but sort of makes sense: there's a 1-inch diameter hole (covered in metal mesh) on the ceiling of the cooking space, and a fan between that and the top housing cover that appears to draw air from around the housing of the oven and the 1-inch hole, and push it out the front in between the control panel and the oven door - presumably to keep the wall oven's surrounding from overheating (maybe all electric wall ovens have that but this is my first so I'm just writing down what stood out to me)For how we use our oven, there are 2 upgrades that would make the oven more desirable than it already is - but perhaps they aren't there for good, safety reasons:1. A timer function that stops the cooking function (or set to Keep Warm) - the timer function on the oven only beeps once the countdown is done, it doesn't change the cooking function2. or better yet, a WiFi module to make it a smart oven, but that's just me, wanting to be able to control things from anywhere with internet
