Why would you connect your washing machine to WiFi in the first place? Like legitimate question.
Not that this covers many cases, but a lot of appliances are running touch screens and a lack of non-visual indicators. Blind people could benefit from having an app with a screen reader to run the machine. Of course, this is just a patch for a problem which shouldn't have existed in the first place.
