A 5.5 cu. ft. top load washer with an impeller and LG's EasyUnload design, ENERGY STAR certified. It connects to Home Assistant through LG ThinQ, so a finished or failed wash can send a notification before the load sits wet in the drum.
It suits clients who want a top loader without giving up capacity. LG lists the DLE8400WE as its matching dryer. Remote start, cycle monitoring, and energy monitoring all come through LG’s ThinQ app.
Home Assistant reaches it through LG’s ThinQ cloud, so it needs an internet connection and a personal access token created with the homeowner’s LG account. It reports its current status, the time remaining, and an event when a cycle finishes or a fault occurs, and Home Assistant can start or pause a cycle. LG’s energy figures arrive once a day, up to yesterday, so they suit monthly totals rather than live power.
