Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day
madsen@lemmy.world 7 months agoCouldn’t you just program it to start (and stop) at a given time, or make a note of how long it says on the display that it’ll take?
It seems (to me) like a very, very minor improvement for a huge cost, namely that your washing machine is on your network and is internet connected.

And I bet you it reduces reliability, because all those fancy electronics are absolutely crucial for it to work at all and brittle as a sand castle. So you’ll end up with a white brick if the wifi module craps out or a capacitor gets too warm.
