I see IoT networks being a common occurrence on home networks as we progress. But then again I live in the woods & like low tech appliances.
Why does my stove & fridge need WiFi?

So government can check that you don't store or cook any bad climate foods
That & cast iron doubles as a weapon. Stove sends a signal that pan has exceeded acceptable weight.
Owner must be placed on extremist watch.
For monitoring the temperature of food in the freezer or fridge. This could help prevent food going bad due to various issues. It doesn't need WiFi, but an ability to send sensor data, and it doesn't need to be two-way.
Fair point but your food should be rotating as it’s used & it’s pretty obvious when your fridge stops working.
I speak as someone who just had to replace their fridge a year ago.
