Why would you connect your washing machine to WiFi in the first place? Like legitimate question.
To get notifications when your laundry is done.
As someone with adhd, I could see it being super helpful for me.
My dryer is as dumb as they come. It just beeps like a motherfucker until I open the door, which is pretty effective.
