    App-controlled appliances are absolutely one of my pet peeves. I would much rather prefer an analog knob.

      We still have zero app-controlled (or internet-capable) appliances and I hope to keep it that way forever… though I’m starting to worry that maybe in the future we won’t have much choice.

        Yeah, I still opt for the ‘lower-cost’ options when buying appliances. There is always the used market, so by the time I must but one I’ll probably have a strategy ready to go.

        Maybe I’ll have an old phone I’ll put on a separate vlan WiFi with a special account just for that. A service account, if you will.
