    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.
