I don't have a smart dishwasher, but I think an API to display the current salt level and a web UI that has some space to display and comfortable configure the various settings instead of 6 incomprehensible buttons would certainly be things I'd be interested in.

or, you know, you could do what everyone has done up until "smart". check the levels each time you load it.

Yes, that's true for literally every possible innovation in every field - it is possible not to use it.
