Notifications when your washer/dryer is done are pretty dope

I've been receiving over-the-air notifications from my washer and dryer for years. I've got these things called "ears" that receive the signal and let me know.

Yep..."tweedle deedle deedle, I'm done." (My sister in law hates the tune it plays, so I turned the volume up.) I don't leave large appliances running when I'm not at home bc shit can happen.

My non-internet washer/dryer do this already, and without needing a smart-phone app..

It makes a loud beep-beep-beep alert when it is finished..

The only time those notifications are actually useful are at a laundromat. Drop cloths off, start the wash, go to the bar next door and have a beer.

Sounds cool, I use my watch that doesn’t need WiFi. Different strokes for different folks.

My washer and dryer alerted me when they were done, too.

Now the washer has moved in with the dishwasher and the dryer is out late with appliances it met on Grindr.
