Dusk To Don :raccoon:"I won't connect my dishwasher to your stupid cloud”«So I turned it on, and immediately hated the new touch sensor stuff on it. The old GE had buttons: you press them in, they click and you know that you pressed a button.The touch sensor, you kind of touch it and the firmware—like this new dishwasher actually takes time to boot up! I had to reset it like three times and my wife meanwhile was like laughing at me like look at this guy who does tech stuff and he can't even figure out how to change the cycle on it.That took about five minutes, sadly.»[…]«I don't need Internet on my dishwasher.Another third option is somebody has reverse engineered this protocol and built HCPY, a Home Connect Python library.But here's the problem: I already spent like four hours getting this dishwasher installed in my kitchen. I don't want to spend another four hours configuring my own web UI for it—which still requires at least a one-time connection through Home Connect!—and maintaining that as a service on my local network, relying on an unauthorized third party library using reverse-engineering to get at the private dishwasher API!»... oh, I feel you on this one, Jeff ^^<a href="https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/i-wont-connect-my-dishwasher-your-stupid-cloud" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/i-wont-connect-my-dishwasher-your-stupid-cloud</a>HN discussion <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43463200" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43463200</a><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/hackerNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hackerNews</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/iot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iot</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/smartHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smartHome</a>
