...only as long as there is no buffer overflow. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

It would not be the first one I know that has a tiny PLC at home controlling inside and outside lights, the sun-blinds, calefaction, garage door and other things in the house.
A friend of mine even goes further (I mean not just ON-OFF binary controls) and has built PID controlling with analog inputs and outputs to regulate temperature in some rooms because he was happy with the equipment but not happy with the regulation of the manufacturer, so he made his own.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You forgot to mention coffee machines! I would program one so it would make me coffee every morning and then in every 3 hours, excluding the time when I sleep(would I even sleep then ?  ).

It is for utility companies to reduce their costs for meter reading, for asset tracking where companies need any such thing (and hospitals) , for military use, for agriculture and mining etc.
The fridge that tells you when the milk is out of date is secondary to these.

They're designed for their function in a really very better way! A fridge to cool things down, light to show me the way, TV to force me to watch what everyone else is watching etc. If I can write programs for them, fridge would play radio for me, light would be a source of free

..what was the last one? Oh yeah, TV. If I could I would make it an IDE to write more codes. -_-

There's no "middle ground" between "I totally would" and the other choices: while I am not sure this survey was ever intended to be taken seriously, if it was, then its design is questionable.

I don't like smart homes, though I worked on smart home project and it was very interesting, but personally I don't want such a house

I would not let such TV, fridge and washing machine into my house - I have already kids!
As for the outside light - I have none. I do not one people to come over at hours they need light to find my house...

I think you need to get some friends...in the UK winter, it's dark by 15:00 ~ 16:00, and will still be dark by the time you get to work. So...your friends would only be able to visit during both the days of summer! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

"If your beer fridge, outside light, TV and washing machine had an API, would you write apps to control them?"
Of those whose faith and/or current personal circumstances call for abstinence of alcohol, are you offended in CP suggesting you have a beer fridge and/or that, in answering such the Straw Poll, would go against your beliefs and/or personal circumstances?
As for me, I'm offended!!
For, I'm gonna go buy that Raspberry Pi and figure out how to integrate it to my beer, wine, and hard alcohol fridge.
small print: Humor, people. Humor.
And, yes, as a computer programmer, we must needs analyze every angle possible of a given set of parameters, including that of potential 'unfulfilled expectations' of the Project Sponsor (CP, in this case, regarding their Straw Poll).

How about a little mod on the beer fridge and turn it into an automated self tapping been keg fridge?
Have a cup holder that when the glass/mug gets low it automatically fills and keeps track of it's own level and calls the store and orders a new keg and has it delivered before running out. Would that replace a woman?, probably not but it would be close.

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Who wouldn't?
Heck, I've tried to hack the controller for my LED Christmas tree lights, so why would an outside light stay untouched?

One of my friends did a DIY Home automation/security system using Arduino and Raspberry Pi units. It controls the lights, security cameras, alarms, thermostat, coffee maker, microwave, fridge, oven, dishwasher, various robots he built, TVs, radios, computers, garage door, locks, window blinds, and so on and so forth.
He actually modded most of these things to be controlled by the system (the kitchen appliances and garage door opener are big ones).
He actually is quite rich and lives in a massive mansion (can't remember where it is, weird place name) and has pretty much everything automated.
And yes, he is brilliant.
