My dryer is as dumb as they come. It just beeps like a motherfucker until I open the door, which is pretty effective.

See, mine makes absolutely zero noise when done, which isn't a good thing for me. But, I'd be more likely to build my own smart system (probably a flow sensor on the drain).

My 'smart' LG washer/dryer plays a jaunty little tune when done. Even on max volume it's difficult to hear. I miss my old dumb machines.
