Leave it to Miele to make connectivity so hard to use, and meaningless that few will bother and those that do can look forward to redoing it every app update.
Their wireless app just updated - now I have a to log in to use it - this means setting up the account and password ( painful affair on its own ) it also wiped the old connection settings - Its wireless is also way more difficult than anything I own -I'm hardly a Luddite - and I had to have my son (who is a video engineer by trade) over here and he said its the hardest home device hed ever seen to get working. Since he gets to use it for free I had no problem pressing him into servitude the first time. Miele's lost their minds if they think this is worth the effort they are imposing. UD |

I can tell you what the app had, not sure about the latest update
Status as to where a load is in a cycle and estimate of remaining time What load options you selected KWH-current load only -no cumulative Water use - per load only- no cumulative twindos 1&2 remaining % No other app I've used completely erases the connection settings and passwords between updates.

Tomturbomatic - no the app doesn't alter water levels from what I can tell.
One thing I forgot above was it allows you to update the firmware on the machine as well. I did that was well but noticed no differences as I hadn't enough time on it prior. I found it does not alter the setting as you select them but merely notifies you of what they are. There is a high degree of control over the machine as is with water levels extra rinses, etc...Im picky about the right amount of water and I'm not disappointed. UD |

I still think Wi-Fi on appliances is just cosmetic frippery. |

Personally, I've always found them to be rather 'touch-and-go' in responsiveness. Ordinary rotary selector switches and option buttons offer a much better - a more positive - user experience. |

I applaud the inclusion of connectivity - even if it simply mirrors the machines and gives a status update.
More info would be better, cumulative resource consumption would be cool - I can put a KWH number to it but knowing exactly how much water I use would be nice - it knows per load how much and a simple counter cant be hard. What sucks is breaking convention with how an app should update requiring a new router path be established - combine that with the fact that the machine "looks" like a printer and is difficult to setup - that makes its frustrating to own.
