My washing machine broke down. I need a replacement. I must avoid getting a "smart" one though. Are there any lists of products that arent "smart" so I can know which models are viable options to buy? Or other resources? I'm based in Ireland.

BTW, if you want to partially "smartify" your nice, dumb machine, using a Tasmota-enabled power socket which is capable of measuring the current in order to create yourself a notification system for when the washing machine is done, or when the microwave stopped cooking, can be a good solution.

It's easy finding dumb washing machines. I'd bet that most of the current washing machines on the market are dumb.

This is such a great feature thanks for sharing the product. How many other smart plugs measure voltage for notifications??
