Remote start control LG washer [Feature Request]

[vannetta]

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to remote start my washer, in order to make an automation that the washer starts when the photovoltaic panels are producing at least 1000 W. Is it that possible with your integration? I only see the sensor but I cannot send any command to the washer. I'd need a switch to turn on it. The model is: F4WV408S0E

Yes it's all possible right now. Use the smartthinq_sensors.remote_start service to issue the remote start command.

You must put the machine in remote start mode on the front panel after you load it, then you can issue the remote start command when you are ready.

After 10 minutes (IIRC) in remote start mode without starting the machine goes to sleep. You must use the smartthinq_sensors.wake_up command to wake it up, then the remote_start command to start it.

You can close this issue the integration already has everything you need.

I checked, but I haven't found the wake up sensor; the integration shows 19 sensors and that one is not listed; instead, the remote start is in the list. How can I do?

Thanks

Those are services (commands) not sensors. Check out the services page in the developer tools, and search for smartthinq_sensors. You should find both the wake_up and remote_start commands.

@hmoffatt Thank you very much for your suggestions, it works! I only have to understand how to write the automation in order to define the trigger (whether I put clothes in the washer or not). And thank you @ollo69 for all your efforts, I really appreciate it

I think its so frustrating that you need to enable "Remote Start" on the front panel of the dryer every time.. why cant it default to on, or at least be configurable?

Silly LG..

[hmoffatt]

Well you actually have to load it with stuff to dry so I don't think it's a big deal.

[hmoffatt]

From the sensors you can work out if the unit is enabled for remote start. Then when the time is right (like there's enough solar power) you can execute the remote start.

I wasn't able to find the API. Is it possible to choose the washing-program used when you use remote start?

service: smartthinq_sensors.remote_start data: {}

What data is needed/possible for remote start? I can't find it documented anywhere. :)

@newlund This is my script: service: smartthinq_sensors.remote_start target: entity_id: sensor.lavatrice data: {}
