I dunno about you, but I would love to get a notification on my watch when the machine has finished it’s cycle. The stupid high pinched repeated beeping noise sucks… especially when it’s the next door neighbour’s washing machine and they’re not even home, so it goes on and on for fucking hours. And I’d like to see proper error descriptions on my phone, instead of just “UE” on the timer LCD. WTF is a “UE” error?
If we’re going to get really fancy… I’d love to be able to load the machine in the morning, but tell it to actually start running several hours later while I’m at work. I obviously don’t want clean wet clothes going mouldy in the washing machine all day… but I don’t really want to run the washing machine when I’m home either, because it’s noisy.
Remote activation would also be better for the environment and also better for my clothes - I’d use the the slow gentle economy cycle every time if I could remotely trigger it at 3pm on a weekday. I’m definitely not going to use that on the evenings (when I’ll be asleep in 3 hours) or on weekends (when I don’t know if I’ll be home in 3 hours time).
A wifi connected washing machine sounds like a great feature to me, and I’d happily pay for it (with dollars, not with an invasion of privacy). I guess that means I won’t be buying an LG.
My home assistant tracks the power usage of my washing machine (via a Tasmota plug) and notifies me when the power goes under a threshold for a few minutes. Which happens at the end of the washing cycle.
Anybody in his right minds wouldn’t connect a washing machine to WiFi in the first place.
