    Genuinely curious, what benefit does having wifi in your microwave get you? You still have to put in and take out the food, and it’s not like microwaves take all that long to cook food either. I also use maybe 2 buttons on my microwave (+30sec and cancel/stop), but maybe you can save particular power/time combos? Idk

    I did like having a ‘smart’ washer/dryer in my previous apartment, as it would send me notifications about when the cycle was done and reminders if I let it sit for too long.

      1. I’m obsessed with having everything monitored from Home Assistant. I can adjust lights or make announcements based on what’s happening.

      2. I assumed the clock would maintain itself automatically (wrongly…)

      The only way to update the clock is to press Sync Clock button in the app. Fortunately there’s a workaround from HA but even so - I won’t buy another Samsung kitchen appliance. Bosch are the only good smart guys.

        Lol fair enough, I’m teetering on the edge of falling down the HA rabbit hole. Crazy that an internet-connected appliance won’t automatically update the time without your intervention, though.
