Access to Samsung washers and dryers in HA without SmartThings? (lemmy.ml)

I have a set of Samsung washer and dryer that can be hooked up to Samsung SmartThings. I have no interest in making a Samsung account and having my washers and dryers communicate with anything outside of my network.

But since it has some kind of "smart" functionality, I was wondering whether anyone has been able to get this information without ever onboarding it with SmartThings?

Both machines set up their own WPA2-protected WiFi network when running.

Which vibration sensor do you use? I have one but it’s not very accurate.

It very accurately senses when the dryer's running, but required some tweaking to the automation to ignore the washer's spin cycle. What kind of sensitivity issues are you running into?
