Prewarming notification/timer complete is nice especially when I'm gaming/programming and tend forget the world exists.

Also reaching out for NTP and keeping the time updated is useful.

But yea, keeping these internet of shit devices on their own VLAN and monitoring what they are up to leads to a lot of 'um, what is going on' moments.

Ovens with a probe: is my roast at temperature yet?

Of all appliances in my kitchen the oven makes the most sense to have network features. Fridge perhaps a distant second, and that's only because I really wish I knew my compressor had failed and could've rescued the $350+ of groceries that spoiled if something had alerted me to the temp rising while the compressor was still attempting to run.
