Whirlpool Corporation is extending the mobile watch functionality of its connected appliances to include Wear OS by Google in 2019. This extended functionality will give Android users the ease and convenience of remotely communicating with select kitchen and laundry appliances while away from home. With Wear OS by Google: Oven: Consumers will be able to see the current oven status and control commands during an active cycle. Washer: Alongside status updates, users can control the wash options of an active cycle. Whether it be a normal wash, delicates, or brights, consumers can adjust an active cycle on the fly via Wear OS. Dryer: Consumers can control and detect if a cycle has started, understanding how much time remains before the cycle is complete. This extension of mobile watch functionality is among several smart home product announcements from Whirlpool Corporation at CES® 2019.
