    I love some connected devices, and own a LOT of them, but some things are just stupid. I don’t need my blender to be connected. Washer, dryer? Unless it’s going to move my laundry from one to the other, nope. Stove, wtf? I have to go stir anyway so who gives a crap.

      I like my washer and dryer being connected. I can load it in the evening a set my Home Assistant to start it when the price on power is low.

      The other things I agree with

        I would like em too, but only if they allowed local only without any accounts beforehand.

        how often is your electricity provider changing rate timing?

        this could easily be done on the device itself with a timer/schedule
