Sounds like paywalling security updates.
Those pesky hackers turning off my washing machine when I'm trying to do laundry!
Well, if your washing machine was connected to the internet you would also need security updates. Of course the only reason you'd connect your washing machine to the internet would be in order to get said security updates in the first place.
Great job creating a need by developing the fix for it in the first place.
Alerts for when the washer finishes its cycle. Reminders on when to do a tub clean. More detail when certain errors or anomalies are detected. Additional wash cycles for special load/fabric types that don't fit on the dial.I have used the internet connection on my washer for all of these things and it has been very useful.
My magical washing machine somehow knows how to do those things without an internet connection.
Potentially more serious than that. A poorly protected washing machine (or any other IOT device) can serve as an attack vector into your local network.
You're not wrong, but why the hell does a washing machine need to be Internet connected in the first place?
And since the first answer is always "So it can tell me when the cycle is done," set a frickin timer if it's that big of a deal.
I think maybe to turn in on remotely. Lets say you leave to work in the morning and you want to have your clothes washed and/or dried when you arrive from work, then you can turn it on remotely, but its still stupid
My washer has a delay timer on it. Is that not a common option?
I also have an option to start a small fan and spin the drum every few minutes, so it keeps wet clothes from getting mildewy. I use that every time, so I don't have nasty clothes when I inevitably forget to swap stuff into the dryer.
Oh I agree totally.
