I can understand wanting it on your local network. Being able to check remotely how much time is remaining. Getting alerts if it needs maintenance. In a big house with multiple family members all doing laundry, just checking to see if the machine is in use before hauling all your stuff down could be nice. But, that info doesn't need to leave the house. I don't know why you'd want that information leaving the house.

You know, I really like to know if my washing machine has finished when I am on vacation. /s

Im guessing your timing it out to get just the perfect amount of mildew and mold.

If you need more kick you can start it again remotely.

I might need a mold monitor.

Well, if your washing machine takes that long!?

Or, wait... your vacations are that short??

It's for those spots that are really burned in. 🔥
