I have an app install on my phone for my Siemens dish washing machine. Things that are genuinely useful about it: - It tells me when a cycle has finished. - It keeps count of used tablets and I can customize the count at which it reminds me that I need to get new ones. - It tells me when I should do a "cleaning cycle", i.e. that I should run an empty load in "Machine Care" mode to avoid it starting to get odours. However, a bit annoying about this it only tells me as I turn on the dishwasher, i.e. just as I've finished loading it and am about to run it, it would be much better if it told me at the end of the previous cycle. - I can schedule a cycle to begin/end at a particular time. Mildly useful: - I can see how much time is left of the cycle (it's a built-in unit meaning I can't see any display without opening it). - From the app I can choose to "pause" the cycle for a little, this could be useful when watching TV or doing some other activity where you want quiet until later. - I can use the app to select the desired mode and begin a cycle, however, this is only barely useful as I can't use the app until I press the power button on the dishwasher (however, not that relevant since if there's no tablet insert, there is no way it could possibly be started remotely anyway). If there is no significant extra cost, I would like my next clothes washing machine to be able to send me a push notification when its cycle is done. A smart oven would also potentially be nice in that you can remotely turn on the oven from a place like your office or at a particular time so that it's already heated by the time you get home, or you can tell it turn off after a timer. I would definitely prefer if it was an open platform, but in truth, as a founder in small startup who also has young kids, I don't have the time right now to work out how to set up custom automations.
