    Actually this one is sensible.

    In the near future as more renewable energy is included in power grids the price of power will fluctuate depending on the weather.

    The WiFi connection will allow you to configure your washing to be done when pricing reaches whatever point.

      Ah yes, please fire up the washing machine at 3am and scare the fuck out of everybody. And then let the clothes sit in there wet so that when you wake up, they smell like mildew

        Everything else aside, you need to clean your washing machine. Cloths shouldn’t be smelling like mildew after less than a day in it.

        Modern washing machines are also pretty quiet.

          A bit of exaggeration to make a point. :)

          Not when they’re a room away from the master bedroom. Having it start up in the middle of the night would be either annoying, terrifying, or both.
