Well, this is something that I actually used. I have a robo vacuum. I was preparing my home for some guests once, when I saw that the vacuum wasn't charged fully (because it was mispositioned on its base). I put it to the right spot, let it charge for half an hour, started it and left to buy groceries.
At the store, I checked the app where I have my apartment mapped by the vacuum that shows its route and cleaning progress. And I saw that with the current charge, it will have to go back, charge and continue. So I set it from "max" power to "normal", to let it at least finish the job.
It is a cool and useful thing
This was not an automated model of vacuum. Connection features for automated models makes sense.
Ah, ok, then yes. If it's just an indicator on the vacuum against "indicator in an app + register + give us all your data+ "buy vacuum 2.0" notifications", then fuck them
