This is just stupid

Washing machine - how effing hard is to press a button on damn thing of you still have to go there and put clothes in. And do you really care about application informing when it finished, especially if it's in the middle of the night because electricity is cheaper.

How many times you are going to change lighting in your apartment after you played with app for 15 minutes and tried every single colour and everything in between ? Zero, most likely.

And smart fridge that knows how much beer left ? So what ? Anyone able to afford such fridge would have enough brain cells to estimate when he's going to run out of beer. It's not like beer magically appears in that fridge once you run out of it, and, worse, you still need to go there to get one, presumably in the pause between changing mood lighting, anxiously waiting for washing to stop and constantly adjusting thermostat.
