So I gave LG ThinQ washing machine and dryer, the sales guy said they can be turned on remotely, and even automated to run once you go to bed, or to not run unless everyone is awake.

It turns out that you need to turn remote start on every single time you go to the machine, but then.... you're at the machine, 2 more buttons and you're on.

And you can turn the remote start on and walk away, but the machine goes into power saving after 20 minutes and you can't turn it on remotely.

Seems like the remote start function has absolutely no use? Or am I missing something?

Can you use a switchbot to push the remote button?
