> This approach is simply not the most viable.

What's a better approach for in-the-moment, one-touch ordering of household necessities? I'm sure Amazon would like to hear your idea.

> How many buttons are you going to have in your household?

However many you would like. Sorta depends on what kind of products you'd like to buy in this manner. That's kinda the point.

> How are you going to protect it from kids

First of all, children are short. Put the buttons out of their reach. Second -- these are incredibly boring buttons that order boring things and provide no immediate pleasure or feedback. Kids don't crawl around on top of washing machines looking for buttons to press because washing machines are boring. Also you get a notification when you order something, so a kid smashing it is easily reversed. Common sense works fine here.

(Also, lots and lots of people don't have kids, or have kids old enough that they're not going to press a button to order laundry detergent willy-nilly, etc.)

The real solution is a family robot that monitors consumption of household items in a smart home and orders everything that you need in a timely manner.

The world is moving towards connected homes, connected cars, connected fridges etc, why the hell would you want individual stick on buttons, that would be silly.
