    Ours have turned the stove on during the night by walking across it

    But aren’t induction stovetops only heating when a compatible metal is on top/detected? So if you don’t leave pans and pots on it shouldn’t the stovetop be powered off, even if the cat turns on the switch? Besides that, there must be better options, even if companies refuse going back to knobs.

      Yes but it’s very possibly easier to just lock the buttons than it is to wash all the pots before bed and make sure no one leaves so much as a spoon on the cooktop before bed. Either way its an extra thing to remember and deal with and since there’s really no major advantages to capacitive, it’s a simple decision for me. Knobs.
