My Samsung washing machine has Wi-Fi. It's quite useful to know when laundry is ready... but it also allows me to say what I'm laundering, and it'll configure the machine for me. However, it doesn't allow me to turn it on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I imagine that forcing me to be physically near it and press a button to turn it on is a safety mechanism, but it sucks. Especially because it isn't clear whether this is something that can be configured or by design. I've tried everything to change this, but failed to find a way to remotely power it (I'd rather always use my smartphone to configure & turn it on).
