So a smart plug might have a list saying:
- Functionality requires 2.4GHz WiFi, Internet access, access to whatever.vendor.com, and a vendor.com account.

- Regular wash requires 2.4GHz WiFi, Internet access, access to whatever.vendor.com, and a vendor.com account.
- Heavy Duty wash requires the above plus a vendor-supplied detergent cartridge.
