I do not own the washing machine I use, it belongs to my landlord and it sits in the basement of my building. Every time I use it, I have to run down at least three times to know whether it's done with the clothes or not simply because the sounds it makes and the light it emits cannot reach me on the second floor. This project aims to solve that problem for me and my flat-mate.
A working prototype which will be deployed the next time I wash my clothes. The circuit will be able to raise and alarm on my phone remotely as soon as the washing cycle of the machine ends. This'll eliminate the need for me to run down to the basement just to check on whether or not the clothes are ready to be put into the dryer.
The problem would not have risen in the first place had the machine's manufacturers been considerate enough to machine's interface. As is, it has no feedback whatsoever about the time required for the machine to wash these clothes. It's amazing how little thought companies give into products sometimes.
