The nice lady who sold me my home left a fancy washer and dryer set and it can connect to my internet but my fucking question remains why lol. Fridge is normal thankfully.

Because it is really nice knowing when the wash is done from across the house.
To add to it, I like to know water and electricity usage stats from my dishwasher, it’s semi interesting. But generally I use the buttons on the thing.
Washing machine is easier to use via the app because it’s stupid in on device controls

So you are telling me it is enshittified to the point it’s unusable without the app that collects and sells all you data?
Yup, very happy with my purchase…
/s (in case it’s not obvious 😔)

Oh boy do I feel hate right now

Same with my dishwasher; buttons on it will work it but you need the app for more advanced features.

Well tbh give me a machine I can punch in the time it runs the water temp and the rpm and I am mostly fine. I mean there are some curves that could be nice in very specific use cases but eh

I’d like to know water and electricity usage too, but frankly, I’d rather have a separate smart flow meter and current sensor.

The reason they want to get people comfortable using the app is so they can move all control to an app to save money, which will be a worse UX. I’m so sick of using my phone or some ipad screen to do everything. Most appliances just need a few buttons.
