Everything is a problem

I love some connected devices, and own a LOT of them, but some things are just stupid. I don’t need my blender to be connected. Washer, dryer? Unless it’s going to move my laundry from one to the other, nope. Stove, wtf? I have to go stir anyway so who gives a crap.

I like my washer and dryer being connected. I can load it in the evening a set my Home Assistant to start it when the price on power is low.

The other things I agree with

how often is your electricity provider changing rate timing?

this could easily be done on the device itself with a timer/schedule

Probably every hour with dynamic pricing.

I have dynamic pricing so it changes by the hour depending on the market.

I can see the pricing ahead of time so I could do it manually, but I don’t want to.
