I have an LG washer/dryer. With the app you can add downloaded cycle programs. And you can just have one at the time, and there are two cycles I sometimes swap between. It also gives me a notice when it needs to be cleaned and it has smart diagnostics when something goes wrong. And of course delayed start via app and notification when the wash is done. So there are some benefits, but I still hate it
I have mine in hass… the integration is cloud dependant.
Edit: The stuff I can do in with it in HASS is great though. I can only hope that someone figures out how to skip the cloud requirement all together like they did with some other stuff that I use.
Home assistant usually doesn’t work as a backend for smart appliances like that, just as a frontend that connects to the same stuff that your smartphone app connects to. It communicates with the appliance through the original cloud service, so you can’t take it entirely offline.

Those do sound useful. Hook it up to home assistant and send all its external requests to the DNS void.
