I believe that the GE Profile cooktop has a regular induction burner (no temperature sensor), but that it has Bluetooth and Hestan Cue pan compatibility. In other words, it would use the built-in temperature sensors in the Hestan Cue pans to report the pan temperature. If you love the Hestan Cue pans, that might be a good match.
The main built-in cooktop I've seen with a pan temperature sensor is this one from Miele. It has an IR (non-contact) sensor on one hob. I'm not sure how one calibrates it, how well it works with pans that don't have clean bottoms, or how easy it is to clean. But it has me intrigued
No, this is a new one I believe. Yes, you still need the Hestan Cue app. You need an iPad or other mobile device for the recipe guidance.
The miele one definitely looks interesting. I can see more and more established manufacturers are going this way with the sensor on glass tops.
The Hestan Cue pans are not great, to be honest. It makes a lot of noise when cooking. And its Bluetooth is quite a hassle to use. Also, have to twist the cap to turn it on and off every time you cook.
