Wow! It’s almost as though random household appliances shouldn’t be connected to the internet

A connected coffee pot has a lure to it. You preload it. Sleep. Wake up. As you’re browsing Lemmy in bed, you tap your phone to start the morning coffee. The aroma reaches you in bed, letting you know hot fresh coffee is waiting for you, making it easier to get out of bed.
It’s not enough of a temptation for me to go buy a connected drip coffee pot, but I’m betting that’s why people do it.

Shelly smart outlet + homeassistant + dumb coffee maker = genius coffee maker.

Outlet timer + dumb coffee maker = genius coffee maker…but cheaper, and simpler and doesn’t randomly break because an update fucked something up in HA (again) so your automation isn’t running today.

Also yes. My response was more about showing you can have a modern smarthome that does not talk to the internet. You can of course automate without.
