I'd love to see the breakdown of who would prefer a network-connected washing machine with an API vs who would prefer a device that you have to operate with buttons and switches like a cave man.
- teekert 4y agoI guess a time is near when we want our washing machines and dryers to operate at peak solar power. So some kind of (very, very preferably local) api would be nice.
- clarkema 4y agoCaveman here. I put the washing in and then set a countdown timer on my watch.
- hamburglar 4y agoWould be interesting to intercept the network traffic going from the washer to the manufacturer’s web service. It’s possible the API is simple enough that you could sub in your own little server that accepts and tracks the status events.
