Agreed with your pointe below, but the Roomba would be neat. I don¡¯t know what the Roomba API allows, but imagine being able to dispatch your Roomba to a specific room from a touch panel.

?
It all depends on the appliance. Your typical appliance ( and the ones from your list ) are really only able to integrate with Crestron by controlling the power to them. You may be able to hack together additional control by soldering relays,
etc...
I would highly recommend NOT integrating with any of this. For the coffee maker what happens if the burner stays on too long and the pot is empty? What happens if you cut power to the fridge and all of the food spoils or the freezer leaks? What happens if you
cut power to the washing machine or dryer and the clothes get ruined?
I have had many customers over the years want to do a lot of things, but most of them really don't make sense and can open you up to a huge amount of liability.
