The new Thread/Matter standard is an attempt to bring together various home automation protocols for exactly things like this.

• Previously an appliance manufacturer may have needed to support multiple protocols and decide how to expose functionality.
• the new standard is IPv6 based: Matter is the Ethernet protocol and Thread a local-only low power mesh network, and it’s sponsored by Apple, Amazon and many other players. However another great feature is a standard set of device types, so most of the functionality you need to implement is already defined and other services already know how to interact with it.

If were Matter/Thread, I can already ask Siri the status or configure Alexa to announce when it’s done or script my home automation hub to flash an LED indicator.
