    You don’t have to have a smart washer and dryer to do this. If you get a smart outlet that monitors power usage, you can have it notify you when the usage dips. That’s how I do it.

      Yeah smart devices are far too smart, usually for absolutely no real reason. They’re very appealing to people who overthink things (which is often myself, and I admit it). Sometimes we really should make an effort to embrace the dumb. Simplicity has its own elegance, and is often far more reliable.
