Too Simple To Figure Out Dept...!?!
The more smart or automatic an appliance becomes the more time and money you'll spend trying to make it work. Net result: You lose time and you lose a ton of money. Great for technician's income...

Some things should not be, for example, using a Ford spec'ed window lift motor normally found in an enclosed space that is designed to remain dry in all sorts of weather in a space that is inherently wet just from it's location.
My wife's 2002 Ford Explorer XLT was driven over 265000 miles with out a window lift motor failure,the super dooper electronic blend door mechanism in both the front and rear HVAC systems failed, repair for the front at a reliable shop $1500, the rear failed after less than 5 years and was $625 to repair(there are only three screws to R&R and one wire connector). I have never had a mechanical blend door failure in a vehicle with an armored steel wire control cable operated from the dash. Stuck once in awhile but a little oil and they would work for another five years.
Technology is great and I'm sure provides great savings just by existing. But look at a receipt for dinner at your favorite restaurant, 6 or 8 inches long just to total 4 or 5 numbers. How big were they when they were hand written? And when I use a credit card, I get three of them, one to sign, one to keep and one that is the itemized list of our order.
K.I.S.S. is still a great business plan.
