My ancient washing machine already has a notification system, no smart features needed. When it’s making an awful noise it’s still washing, when I can hear myself think again it’s finished.
That’s actually a cool little gimmick of some of the smart features. Downloading extra finish jingles.
Of course these are only a few bytes (or so I’d hope). And limited to what they do. Still sometimes they have seasonal selections. It’s cute and gimmicky and totally unnecessary, sure. But that’s the charm.
Washing machines do not operate on a fixed timer. They show you a suggestion but if the load of clothes is lighter or heavier the wash cycle will take varying amounts of time. I can’t hear mine either and rely on the notification on my phone.
How the hell else am I supposed to know the washer is done from the next room?

Yours doesn’t sing the song of it’s people?

I lived in a house where the whole floor was shaking when the washing machine was spinning.
So when the floor stopped shaking the laundry was ready.
You’re joking but my laundry is in my basement and the app notification really is the only way I know it’s done.
Set a timer

They do if you set a timer and don’t do the auto sense setting
Yea but why would you do that? You want the washer to run longer for heavier loads than lighter loads.
