1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, at least one option for heating instructions based on an electronic tag;
rendering, by the processor, historical activity and the at least one option on a graphical user interface, wherein the at least one option includes an inventory of heatable loads;
receiving user input based on the rendered at least one option;
relaying, by the processor, the user input to a controller configured to carry out the heating instructions, wherein the controller is provided in a remote heating apparatus, and the remote heating apparatus is part of a system of a plurality of heating apparatuses, the plurality of heating apparatuses configured to communicate with each other in a local area network and operate in coordination;
receiving at least one sensor reading about a state of a load, wherein the at least one sensor reading is collected at least one of;
during execution of the heating instructions and responsive to termination of the heating instructions;
determining whether to modify heating based on the received at least one sensor reading; and
outputting, on the graphical user interface, a notification in response to a determination that at least a portion of the heating instructions is complete.
