Only issue might be the container not being 100% full causing the water inside to slosh and increase the vibrations. (Probably not that hard to solve)

>(Probably not that hard to solve) Yeah, just throw a 2 channel PID controller and a bunch of servos. It most likely be rather cheap (sarcasm)

  Most probably the new washing machine will have a microprocessor anyway being IoT ;), so it's just the cost of sensors and servos that adds to the BOM. As a side note, and JFYI, a celebration of connected washers (by IBM): https://www.ibm.com/blogs/internet-of-things/washing-iot-solution/ https://www.ibm.com/blogs/internet-of-things/washing-iot-sol... Particularly: >New business transformation opportunities can be explored whereby the washing machine itself can be turned into a service where the thing is not purchased, but given to the user, with the user adopting a pay per wash experience. The first example of WAASH (Washing As A Service, Hot) I ever saw.

    Aah, this the devious "product as a service" model, at least here they properly call it leasing, unlike the companies that adopted Keurigification

      I am not sure to understand, actually they (I mean the cited IBM article authors) don't call it "leasing", they explicitly promote the idea of "pay per wash".

        Oh, well if it is so, then it is also an Example of Keurigification

    Washing can be the free tier, and then monetize by coverting to premium(dryer).

It's a washing machine, it needs to be hooked up to a pressurized water pipe anyways. Just hook up the tank (before the valve) and it should always be completely full.

  > It's a washing machine, it needs to be hooked up to a pressurized water pipe anyways. There's an Aqua-Stop (with multiple valves, including a passive, magnetic one that works even in power loss situations) right after the water pipe connection, to avoid water damage in case the pipe or a valve inside the machine breaks. Automatically filling the tanks is dangerous, because it will lead to issues in case e.g. the air-outlet gets stuck due to rust or lime particles from the pipe entering the tank with the water.
