> Cloud should be an add-on.

I don't agree; dishwashers that connect to the Internet should not exist.

At most, a dishwasher's network connectivity should be restricted to the presence of firmware which serves a web UI. Everything should be doable via the web UI, whose commands should ideally be URL-driven, so they can be easily automated with simple requests.

A laser printer doesn't need to connect to the cloud; why does a dishwasher?
