My stove connects to the internet now

not really, i just needed clickbait title

So we all know it's a trend to get appliances these days into the "smart" era like TVs and refrigerators. However, how do you feel about more appliances getting connected to the internet just for the sake of efficiency, such as knowing how the device is doing through an app, or even remote start? Do you feel it's a necessity to have the amount of IoT (internet of things) devices that we already do, or have we gone too far in terms of advancement of such devices?

How about appliances and devices that aren't up-to-date in this IoT era that you think would benefit from being smart?

smart refrigerator is useless to me, it won't walk all the way to my room to give me a cold drink

At some things I just tend to go "but why tho?"

I honestly would not mind a smart door, but it could get abused to hell when it gets hacked.

I like my dumb house as it is. I'm a simplistic guy.

Though, I may be down for an application that automatically detects neighbors being overly loud and who counteracts that noise in any way or form.

I think smart lights are pretty cool, but they are way too expensive to be practical

everything else is too advanced for me, especially the Juicero

edit: I did get the Ring smart doorbell or whatever it's called with my brothers for my parents a year or two ago though and I think that's pretty cool

i think the lights are a cool gimmick. more so, since I'm almost always in front of the computer. but overall, nah. IoT's impressive but I'd like a simple house

Honestly I have been eyeing a Nest thermostat for some time now...that way I could at least control the temperature in my house if I'm ever on vacation. Or in the winter time if I ever needed to switch the AC from air to heat.
