I have a new LG dishwasher, last month it sent a total of 2.7M up 1.2M down. When it’s on it does about 50KB up and 150KB down.
What do you think it's sending?
Status for time remaining, wash cycle, delayed start timers, rinse aid levels, etc. It also logs diagnostic info for the mechanics to help a tech troubleshoot a repair… Info about the heater, motor, temp sensor, etc.
I also see the occasional spike for tiny firmware updates.
What do you use to track it?
I’m not doing anything my CS professors would be proud of. I’m not digging into the services or anything, I’m just using the Thin Q app and seeing what statuses and logs it’s pulling back for the client UI.
Seems like something that could easily be 200K of network traffic to run and monitor the appliance’s cleaning session. Nothing looks alarming.
