The fuck a smart dishwasher gonna do, play Mozart while my dishes get smashed around inside then receive a text message later saying “Oi it’s me ur dishwasher I just finished the dishes and I pissed on the floor” while it plays Mozart again but at max volume until you waddle your fatass over and press the ‘shut the fuck up’ button?
Comment on I just want to set a timer for MY FOOD WINDOWS WHY?

And here we have why I have not connected my smart dishwasher to the Internet. Those 2 extra wash cycles don’t seem worth it. Especially considering I only ever use the most powerful sounding wash cycle.

I get that, I have a smart oven, washer, dryer and dishwasher. All connected to the internet (private guest network just in case), and they all send updates to one Telegram group chat using IFTTT. It’s pretty convenient to get updates when a device is done.

Mine just beep when they’re done.

The only two things that I like about smart appliances:
I can’t imagine needing a notification on the dishwasher (I’m never wanting for it to finish to do something else) or refrigerator (just what even would it do).
I guess the smart control of the hvac is nice (turn it on when I’m on my way back from vacation so the temperature is perfect when I get home), but does that count as an appliance?

Cool, but that’s only half the truth, 'cause how do you turn off your fridge or microwave stuff when you’re away from home then?? /s

We once invented multiple protocols, because doing everything over the same protocol is a bad idea…

I could see a connected dishwasher being useful if all water using apps (liances, not lications) could coordinate with the water softener to determine if it needs to cycle before they start (and to automatically start once the soft water is ready).
Is that even a thing?
