Smart home appliances

Do you use many smart home appliances? I have a ring doorbell but I think that barely scratches the surface. I’m in a hotel with automatic shades and it is a game changer. Are there other in ordinary smart appliances that you use that I should consider?

I have a smart dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer that puts a giant notification on all of our TVs when one of them finishes a load. It really helps get the wife moving.
Most rooms have smart outlets on the lights and we turn them on and off remotely via Alexa.
We have a smart litter box that notifies us whenever one of the cats takes a shite.
Ring doorbell and smart doorlocks, smart garagedoor opener.

Do they have one smart enough to tell my wife not to run the dishwasher when it's half full and there are still a few plates in the sink?

I am in the process of installing a system throughout my home called Josh AI.
As far as appliances are concerned, I have a dishwasher that is WiFi capable but I have never enabled the feature. I really don’t see the point, I actually try to buy appliances that don’t have internet connectivity. The only real exception are TVs, but I don’t consider them an appliance.

Josh is serious. Have a padna that showed me his office setup that he installs, and it is legit. Being ai, if it can’t do something yet, it dash learn it. I was a fan.

Weather aware sprinkler controller. It doesn't schedule runs when the ground is saturated, or when the wind is too high, etc. Cut water bills by 1/3 for a mere $90 purchase.

I jumped into the smart home things a few years ago. My appliances are All just monitoring set ups with the exception of my range. I can pre heat it from the app. Washer/dryer just let me know when things are complete as well as tracks usage and levels. Dishwasher and microwave just tell me when cycles are done. Fridge will let you know when the door is open. Pretty cool as they also go to the TVs.
All of my switches and bulbs are on smart voice control switches and can cut them in or off voice control. Just important to remember what you call everything lol. I have it set up by room and devices.
Cameras and smoke detectors are also tied in together. Of course the thermostat is tied I. As well and will shut down when the detectors go into alarm.
Have the Yale nest key pad and a shark vacuum.
Only complaint I have is the fact if you loose internet, you are back to the stone ages and the google home app isn’t the most reliable. But I’m this far in that I just deal with it as it would be to much of a pain to switch.
