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.
you really think it takes that much data to send a small compressed json or xml file with just the pertinent data?
It doesn’t, but it’s also software being developed by a kitchen appliance devision, so I set my bar low.
