Garage door opener with one button: http://amzn.to/bQBbFm The Infiniti FX35 has an analog clock. My dishwasher has a green light which indicates that the dishes are clean (though it turns off the first time you open the door, so you better be in the mood to put away dishes). Google voice rings all if your phones, landline or otherwise.

I've recently seen microwaves with a spring loaded timer dial, I'm sure you could still get one (if used).

Television setups on the other hand are needlessly complicated.
