as someone that forgets that they’re in the middle of doing laundry frequently, it was great getting notifications when it was done. I rented a place for a bit that had a smart washer, I actually really miss that.

maintenance and such I’m sure were worse, and I’d much rather it be all local and have open apis, but fundamentally, having a connected washer is actually really nice

I’ve tried vibration sensors on the current not connected wadher, but I can’t get anything reliable enough to be useful
