   I have yet to understand what the value proposition of an internet-connected refrigerator is.

      I can imagine one good use: plotting graphs of inner temperature, configured set point, motor on/off status, door open/closed status, and power consumption. But that use case does not require having control of the fridge compressor...

         If the temperature goes out of acceptable range than then it is defective. The only people who need that plot are the lawyers for the class action lawsuit for a defective appliance.

         There are scientific reasons to need the plot, but that is not normal and they likely need a special fridge with tighter controls or something anyway.
