The device isn't smart, it's just a big social experiment to check whether you're smart enough not to buy one. (and sadly too many people have failed, so they increased their efforts to get meaningful data by getting rid of other options. Nowadays you often can only buy "smart" devices, or you repair your old stuff)
All they do is take away more time and make once simple tasks overly complex... oh, and they break more easily than previous generations it seems. Which only makes sense.
My mother cried on the phone when she had replaced her washing machine with a "smart" one, that only made her life more complex.
She had bought the same brand for over 30 years, now she will never buy one of their machines again.
