Its a separate mesh network that is on its own frequency so it doesn't interfere with wifi. Is directly hooked into a router so we can use our phones to fuck with it. Idk why you'd want smart anything outside of lights and fans. Maybe something that pings your phone when the drier goes off or something
If there was a decent open source smart speaker like Amazon Alexa i'd be all over it ngl. My ADHD ass would make great use of having a computer set reminders and make lists for every stray thought that crosses my mind before it's gone forever, but computer-augmented executive functioning isn't worth adding a corporate spyware fixture in my house :/
Ours has a timer on it to start itself at a certain time. I guess if you wanna press the go button when you wake up that'd be nice. Or hook it up to a sleep monitor app for optimal coffee time lol
I've gotten a lot of mileage out of analog socket timers for things like that ngl. Got one hooked up to the bathroom space heater for 15 mins before I get out of bed in the morning, has really made this winter way less miserable for me

I'd love a coffee maker that would start its self before I'm even out of bed.
