You'll Soon Be Able to Control Over 20 Whirlpool Appliances With the Apple Watch

Whirlpool has announced that it will roll about the ability for Apple Watch users to control its ovens, washers, dryers, and other connected appliances in early 2018.

This collaboration with Apple Watch is another demonstration of Whirlpool Corporation’s commitment to innovation that serves a purpose. By expanding remote connectivity to home appliances, consumers can continue to personalize their appliance interactions and care for their families smarter, faster, and better.

“Bringing intuitive technology and functionality to the appliance category that helps take the friction out of household chores is chief among our goals as we innovate for the smart home,” said Brett Dibkey, Whirlpool Corporation vice president, brand and strategy in North America. “Our consumers are sophisticated and expect their appliances to work smarter, not harder. Through the new collaboration with Apple, we’re increasing a consumer’s capability to interact with their appliances in new and more convenient ways.”


Consumers will be able to remotely communicate with their appliances through the Whirlpool app on Apple Watch in a variety of ways:
● Oven: Consumers will be able to see the current oven status and control commands during an active cycle.
● Washer: Alongside status updates, users can control the wash options of an active cycle. Whether it be a normal wash, delicates, or brights, consumers can adjust an active cycle on the fly via their Apple Watch.
● Dryer: Consumers can control and detect if a cycle has started, understanding how much time remains before the cycle is complete.

Because 1. boredom could lead to crazy decisions or 2. maybe one owns many of the same machines such as a laundromat with clones of washing machines and may want the exact setting on all of them or whatever.
