¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWell, it?s as always depending on the use-case and the environment. Most people try to get their dryer and washing machine out of way to avoid seeing and hearing them ¨C this includes beepers signaling they?re ready. A lot of people find it convenient if they get notified when the machines are done. This can be a text message or just a flag on a wall panel or even some immediate response like flashing lights (although I wouldn?t like that, personally). One use case is the daughter waiting for her favorite trouser to be done ¨C with a status flag on a wall panel you know when it?s ready without having to walk into the basement (and find it?s 10 minutes to go). ? We also have enough trust in our machines to let them run without being at home. I don?t see the point in having a washing machine when i?m only allowed to use when i?m at home. If something goes wrong, hopefully the smoke and/or water detectors will notify me. ? ? Cheers, Thorsten ? Von: [email protected] <[email protected]> Im Auftrag von Geoffrey Reynolds ? I'm still at the point where I don't see the allure of most of these smart appliances.? I see value in something like a refrigerator or freezer being able to tell me that the temperature has gone above a threshold.? But I don't see any value in the washer or drying being able to alert me on my smartphone.? We don't let either of those run when we aren't in the house and they both make beeping or buzzing noises that let us know when they're done.? I've heard too many horror stories over the years about someone who left their dryer going and came home to their house burned to the ground. ? I get the whole "the customer is paying me to do XYZ" thing though. ? Geoff ? On Sun, Aug 1, 2021 at 4:31 PM Thyce : <thyce.colyn@...> wrote:
