Would be interesting to intercept the network traffic going from the washer to the manufacturer’s web service. It’s possible the API is simple enough that you could sub in your own little server that accepts and tracks the status events.

I guess a time is near when we want our washing machines and dryers to operate at peak solar power. So some kind of (very, very preferably local) api would be nice.

Caveman here. I put the washing in and then set a countdown timer on my watch.
