For me, most appliances have no use being automated. For the few that do have a use case (my coffee maker specifically) the appliance itself is as dumb as possible. Only the switch is "smart".

I think it's really interesting that washing machines for example got pretty cheap. You can get a "good" one for a few hundred bucks. It has a display and fancy buttons and it wants to connect to your wifi.
But the really good washing machine is 5times as expensive and it only has a wheel in the middle that makes loud clicking sounds when you turn it, because the whole thing is pretty much mechanical and lasts forever
