I'm OK with it for some things tbh. With a wifi fridge for example I can know if it stops working and the temp starts rising before I have a fridge full of spoiled food. With an oven I can know if I left the house with it still running. With the washer/dryer I can get notified when I need to fold the cloths before they get wrinkled. I think connected appliances have more useful applications than people give them credit for.

A built in alarm sound would achieve the same goal without running the risk of your fridge becoming part of a botnet

Alarm is going to have to be pretty loud for me to hear it many miles away.
