I wish my dishwasher could automaticly start whenver the price of electricity was low. I can manualle delay it by doing simple math in my head and forecasting prices, but it would be easier and more foolproof if I could script it with IFTTT.

- goodpoint 5y agoIn some countries with day/night tariff appliancies can trivially detect nighttime by voltage. It's been used for decades and it's extremely cheap and reliable.

- vel0city 5y agoYour dishwasher probably uses ~1kWh of energy per cycle. Unless you're running your dishwasher a lot, or you're in an area where the difference per kWh is really massive, you're really not saving that much money.
