Both my split systems are "dumb" where their only controllable out the box via an IR remote. A couple of ESP32-C3 later and their WiFi enabled without the calling home jargon that comes with the oem add-on wifi modules.
My dryer is a heat pump - it takes longer than the old unit, but the energy consumption is far far less than the unit we had installed from the 80s. No need to make modifications to the house for a vent, or have the machine vent humid air into the house during a cycle either. Safety is another big plus on the dryer, old units are horribly dangerous by comparison.
