Dishwasher
A dishwasher in this role reports cycle state, remaining time, and door status to Home Assistant, and can be started remotely once someone has armed Remote Start at the machine.
A connected dishwasher is a monitoring device first and a control device second. Home Assistant sees the running cycle, the time remaining, the door, and the consumable levels; what it can change is limited by design, because a water-carrying appliance is not allowed to start itself without someone present. Every major brand gates remote starting behind a physical Remote Start button that has to be pressed at the machine before the cycle can be triggered from software.
How Selora AI uses dishwashers
- Off-peak scheduling that arms the cycle in the evening and releases it when the electricity rate drops, on a machine the homeowner loaded and armed before going to bed.
- Cycle-complete notifications to whoever is actually home, rather than a beep in an empty kitchen.
- Consumable reminders driven by the appliance’s own rinse aid and salt level sensors instead of a calendar.
- Leak coordination so a water leak sensor under the sink can pause the cycle and close a shut-off valve.
What installers should plan for
Cycle-completion timing is the automation that clients notice, so confirm the appliance reports remaining time rather than only a running or idle state before promising a countdown on a dashboard. Cloud-connected appliances also lag: a cycle that finished at the machine can take a few minutes to show as finished in Home Assistant, which is fine for notifications and wrong for anything that needs to be instant.

The LDTS5552S is LG's value smart dishwasher: 46 dB QuadWash cleaning, Dynamic Dry with TrueSteam, and a third rack, at roughly half the price of the QuadWash Pro models. It still speaks ThinQ, so it gets the same cloud lg_thinq entities in Home Assistant as the flagship.
