Yeah, is it really necessary to somehow control your laundry while you're at work? You start it before you leave, and when you get home, it's done. It's not like you can use your cell phone to move the wet clothes into the drier anyway, so who cares?
And what kind of data are they collecting, anyway? How many times I do laundry? It's not like they can tell which brands or products I'm using. It seems like useless empty data.
I use it to get a notification when it's done. It seems like the timer is kind of a guess as it seems to actually take longer than what it says when the cycle starts.
Yeah, but if you are at work, do you really NEED to know when it's done? And when your at home, can't you just check it? Or even just listen to hear if it's still running? Mine lets off a loud buzz when the cycle is over anyway.
WiFi in a washer/dryer is the solution to a problem nobody has.
I can't hear the alarm in my office and get focused which causes me to delay further. It's the system that works for me.
