问HN：为什么选择智能家居电器？
寻求一位杂志撰稿人撰写一篇关于“物联网”（IoT）智能家电的特写故事。该特写的核心问题是：“我现在必须使用一个应用程序来操作我的洗衣机。为什么？！”
这篇特写将探讨这一现象的原因、背后的技术，以及随着消费者对应用程序过载的抱怨日益增加，这一趋势可能如何演变。
如果您能提供关于这些系统如何运作的详细信息，将不胜感激。如果您曾参与过任何相关软件的开发，撰稿人希望能采访您或通过电子邮件与您沟通。他们给我提供了一些希望解答的问题（请见下方第一条评论）。谢谢！

Asking for a magazine writer for a feature story about "IoT" connected home appliances. The primary question behind this feature is: “I have to now use an app to operate my washing machine. Why?!”<p>The feature explores why this is happening, what technology is behind that, and how this trend (?) might evolve as consumers increasingly complain about app overwhelm.<p>Any pointers to details on how these systems work would be welcome. If you have worked on any of the underlying software, the writer would love to interview you or communicate via email. They have given me some questions they are hoping to answer (see first comment below). Thanks!
