Users should not feel forced to navigate through settings they do not understand or need. At the same time, they should not be restricted in their usual task processing. Therefore, they are free to decide which steps to take and when.‍The mode selection was limited to a few, self-explanatory modes, since interviews conducted revealed that only very few of the pre-programmed washing modes are actually used.

The additional app connects to the washing machine and informs about the remaining washing time, as well as when the program is finished. The shortcut applications can also be edited and added in the app. However, this function is only a part of The App, as it includes several products of a series of the smart home assistant company ID.‍With the ID.one Home selection, you get both an overview of the remaining washing time, as well as a notification when the program is finished.
