Why is you washing machine connected to anything to begin with? If you do not want that, you do not enable it.
The only possible reason for an Internet connected washing machine is to provide alerts when it is done or when it has failed.
And honestly, if you need an alert on your phone to tell you when your washing machine has finished, you probably need to be more aware of your surroundings and learn how to prioritise tasks.
Two reasons I use it:
Washing machine is not in my home, I walk through my garden to get to it. I'm lazy so I want to know when it's finished before I get disappointed. Either via mobile or tv.
I can turn it on when my solar panels are at their highest output. Which is very handy when I'm at work for example. I just load it up and when it's good to go I turn it on.
So, data like this is very bad. But I do see a use in the internet connection
