    Frankly, I like the idea of connecting this stuff up, even the silly ones like refrigerators and washing machines, for two reasons:

    1. monitoring - if my fridge is having temperature issues, I would like a warning
    2. notifications - my ADHD brain tends to forget to empty the dishwasher or laundry dryer and having a notification on my phone would help me remember.

    Of course, my appliances are not smart enough to actually connect in the first place, and it’s not worth buying new ones simply for this functionality, but if it’s there then I can see some of the appeal. :)

      Yeah, I get notifications on my phone every 5 minutes until I change the laundry, it’s been very helpful honestly.
