@iteles yeah, I'm not keen for any random IoT appliances to have access to our internal network. It's increasingly looking like we are going to need (at least) three networks in the house:

Furthermore, I don't think you want to have the Controller App on your "main" iPhone as it will send you annoying notifications when you leave the house and the Housemaster takes over ...
You've gotta love it when big established companies do "Open Source" by providing a Zip file of the code ... http://opensource.lge.com/osList/list?m=Mc014&s=Sc016
Totally misses the point ... Good luck doing anything with this code. There are zero instructions.
The README.txt
is just saying that they are using FreeRTOS
Micro controller OS.
No other instructions in the directory. Maybe someone else has written up a guide online. (highly doubt it).
OK, I know this sounds ridiculous 🙆♀️
But our LG washing machine has the ability to be wi-fi enabled, with certain functionality being controlled from the LG ThinQ app.
Here are the features that I think we could intelligently/usefully use and would therefore warrant the connection to wifi:

usesYou can also remotely start washing cycles if washing is already in the drum but I don't see a strong use case for this just yet (as you can easily program the machine to start at the desired time when you put the clothing in - this can be done on the machine itself.
The wi-fi module is open source so we could eventually build something ourselves but in the meantime the higher priority before we could do this would be to make sure our network is secure.
