In what world would someone want to remote start laundry or dishwashing‽ Ovens would actually benefit from that, but if the dishwasher wasn’t ready to run last time I was touching it it’s not ready now!
I could see remotely starting a washing machine being useful in some cases. For example, if I need to get laundry done today but have to work, I can put the clothes in the washer in the morning and then start it in the afternoon so that my wet clothes aren’t sitting in the washer for 6 hours while I’m at work.
Even my super basic washer has a delayed start timer that solves that issue without wifi modules or whatever. Then again insurance doesn’t cover a water leak or oven fire if I run stuff when I’m away so I never do that.
Eh it would be useful for me… I live a very… dynamic life, and I don’t always know when I’ll be home, so it would be useful, once I know that, to be able to start a wash and find it ready when I come back, with no bad odors.
Dishwashers I can see. Load it up after dinner, then have it run at some point overnight. Could just start it before you go to bed though, so it’s a wash for me really
There’s energy use, then there’s water use. The water I use per dish goes down the more I load up the dishwasher. The less water I use per dish, the less wastewater I create.
I’d rather load it up fully than run it when it’s convenient. At that point, I might as well just wash by hand but

I want to let you know that I appreciate the interrobang. Best punctuation mark ever
How do you access this on a phone keyboard?
‽ Nevermind I found it!
Not at all on ThumbKey, sadly. It’s in most other keyboards, though.

Ok fair, I usually have a day of recovery somewhere in the week lol. Dishwasher though baffles me.
Day of recovery is for recovering, not chores!
Solar power.
Leave for work when it’s darker, start the appliance when it’s maximum sun to take advantage of free electricity.

Yeah but you can just run it then, it dries them automatically

I fully respect that. I just run it when I finish filling it up I just run it. No need to remote start, I’m already there.
