We have a dehumidifier that can connect to WiFi. I think that's one of more strange wifi of things. Like how hard is it to set a humidity and then just empty the bucket a couple times a day. Maybe I just don't realize that it's a necessary feature but I've been emptying buckets for 18 years now and it's not a big deal. And now my husband hooked a hose to it so now I don't even need to empty a bucket, it just does it's job
Dehumidifiers that can connect to WiFi and Bluetooth were started for commercial use. It was so restoration companies wouldn’t have to go to a customer’s home or place of business just to monitor the equipment. They could see how the atmospherics were doing (RH, temp, grain depression, etc) from the company app.
That makes complete sense. But for regular homeowner, it seem a bit unnecessary. Unless it's going in a crawlspace and in that case you want one specifically for that purpose.

Same with appliances if you ask me. Why is my washing machine uploading data to the internet?
