You’re not wrong, but why the hell does a washing machine need to be Internet connected in the first place?

And since the first answer is always “So it can tell me when the cycle is done,” set a frickin timer if it’s that big of a deal.

I think maybe to turn in on remotely. Lets say you leave to work in the morning and you want to have your clothes washed and/or dried when you arrive from work, then you can turn it on remotely, but its still stupid

  My washer has a delay timer on it. Is that not a common option?
  
  I also have an option to start a small fan and spin the drum every few minutes, so it keeps wet clothes from getting mildewy. I use that every time, so I don’t have nasty clothes when I inevitably forget to swap stuff into the dryer.
