There's a wide space between connected and dumb appliances. For instance my espresso coffeemaker is fairly dumb : I'm not even sure that it has a chip that turns the light green when the resistor is hot enough, it might be just some "dumb" sensor. (Still, because of this, it's not completely dumb.)
In comparison, my electric kettle is much smarter, and most likely requires a chip to make all the logic around the various buttons and the screen and the water temperature settings work. Still, it has zero connectivity.
