I actually have a triple buffered solution for this on my stove and water pump in the summer house (which has dodgy electric wiring and home made plumbing):

1) Manual switch with a light when on.

2) Timer (runs max 60 minutes, makes some clicking noise when on)

3) Remote switch that I can turn off with my mobile phone from anywhere.

That way if I forget to manually switch things off, I can turn the remote switch off and if that fails the stove and pump are powered maximum 60 minutes = wont burn the house down or flood it too much hopefully.

In a future without insurance this is the only way to have a modern life without bringing the pump and stove with you! Xo

By the way I don't think she had OCD, I think everyone else is reckless.
