I’m trying to save money on the power bill so I’ve reluctantly connected a few things to the wifi in the hopes that I can set them up to easily tun in a delayed way to use off-peak power. Turns out, neither the dishwasher nor the washing machine or dryer even support that! The dishwasher does, but you have to use the app every time - you can’t set it up to run delayed by default when you press the start button on the machine
So, back off the wifi they go. It was the first use I had for ‘smart’ devices and it didn’t even do the thing.
Check and see if they can be hooked up to home assistant. If they can, and they expose start/stop functionality, then you can ask HA to start and stop them for you.
Then you don’t have to deal with the awful app/UI/external cloud server that they usually use.
