Hacking non-connected appliances? homeautomation

I recently purchased a new Liebherr refrigerator, Siemens washer and Siemens dryer. These appliances are rather new with their own computerized chips but are not "connected" devices. For example, the washing machine is a Siemens IQ700. The version up from it is connected but this one is not. I bought these appliances last year before I got into home automation. They already have nice features built in. The refrigerator, for example, has a door sensor and beeps when left open as well as many other options. The door sensor has actually come in handy more than I would have assumed. That being said, I would still like to tie it into my home automation system. I'm wondering if there is any way to hack appliances to use their sensors/etc.

I realize this is a broad question however I'm looking for a starting point into this method if it's possible or not.
