I have my washer and dryer on an isolated network. It’s actually useful to be able to tell if they’re done without walking to the other end of the house to check.
Seems entirely unnecessary. My units have buzzers that go off when they complete a cycle. I also have a phone with a timer setting, I know a load of laundry will take approx 60min to accomplish per machine. I don’t see the need to spend my time and money to create a more complex system.
My laundry machines are in the basement, and my current machines play a pleasant jingle when they’re done, instead of a loud buzzer. I can’t hear them. I wish there was a setting to go back to buzzer mode
Of course they also have reliable timers so I usually set my watch timer when I start the machines. Done
You know looking at a clock and realizing an hour passed and its done is free, and easy to accomplish with the features already built into your phone and most houses.

Mr. moneybags over here with his house…

Yeah, Im starting to think I need to set up a vlan for my iot devices, but its also a bit out of my league in terms of complicatedness.

I have a front loader that takes anything from 1.5 - 3 hours depending on water temperature, load size etc.
It may tell me 2 hours when I start it, and still be going 2 hours 20 minutes later.
The dryer next to it is even worse when it comes to guessing duration, so having a notification pop up next to me is helpful.
My machine shows how long the program takes when I start it. Why it needs a message when it is finished? I know the time.
Mine does too but can run up to 45 minutes over time depending on how it adjusts the load, water temp etc.
The dryer is a sensor heat pump dryer so I have zero idea whether it’s going to take 30 minutes or 2 hours.
It’s a feature I find useful, I can isolate it on my network and I didn’t pay extra for it.
Seems weird to be defending it.
