    though most of the time I don’t bother because I never have so many loads that time is important.

    That’s a big part of my confusion about this “feature”.

    How big a deal is it of you miss the end of the cycle by a few minutes? Or even an hour?

    Most of the applications they are trying to cram IoT into are pretty pointless in the vast majority of cases.

      Well, everyone is in a hurry sometimes; sometimes you suddenly realize you need a certain piece of clothing clean asap. I could see a notification being useful to busy parents with teenagers with a lot of laundry to be done. I’ve heard of families that do multiple loads every day.
